Abstract
A SURVEY of research problems in geophysics has recently been published by the American Geo physical Union, a body which acts as the Committee on Geophysics of the National Research Council, and as the United States National Committee of the International Geodetic and Geophysical Union. The survey consists of a series of seven essays by the chairmen of the several sections of the union, deal ing respectively with geodesy, seismology, meteorology, terrestrial magnetism and electricity, physical oceano graphy, volcanology, and geological physics and chemistry. It is interesting to observe that the two latter subjects, so little studied in this country, are in America found sufficiently important to occupy separate sections of the union.
