Abstract
THIS first instalment of the observations of the international scheme of deep-sea investigation proves conclusively the unique value of the undertaking, launched amid many difficulties, both for the advancement of the purely scientific interests of marine zoology and meteorology, and for their practical applications to matters of fisheries and weather forecasting. It contains the numerical results of the observations made during August, 1903, by ships sent out specially by no less than ten countries—Belgium, Germany, Denmark, England, Finland, Holland, Norway, Russia, Sweden, and Scotland. The classification is that of the council, and we may ignore any question as to the international relations of Sweden and Norway, Finland and Russia, or England and Scotland, and congratulate ourselves on the fact that so many nationalities have been found to agree to meet on neutral territory and to engage in a uniform scheme of scientific research, as of happy omen.
