Book Description

Excerpt from The Depth and Marine Deposits of the Pacific Ocean OF all the additions to our knowledge Of the depth and deposits of the Pacific Ocean during recent years, the most important are probably those acquired by Dr. Alexander Agassiz during his various cruises in the Pacific. Before proceeding to a detailed description of the samples of the deposits submitted to us for examination, it seems desirable to bring together the various accounts published in Dr. Alexander Agassiz's preliminary reports, as these show the Observations made at the time of collection during the course of these expeditions.
