Book Description

Excerpt from Report on Norwegian Marine Investigations, 1895-97 In the accompanying treatise we have endeavoured to give the general results of our observations on the Hydrography and Pelagic Life of the Northern Ocean, obtained, of late years, during our Marine-Biological investigations. More detailed results of our observations in Norwegian waters, and the Herring Fishery carried on therein, we reserve for future publication. Materials for our treatise have also been obtained through the kind assistance of various public institutions and private individuals, and the help thus afforded us is specially alluded to in our work. We desire to express our thanks to the Officers of the Royal Norwegian Navy, the Meteorological Institute, the Geographical Surveying Board, the Directors of the Bergen Museum, and to all those Shipowners and Masters of vessels who have accorded us their valuable assistance.
