Abstract
WE have already announced the departure of the United States Coast Survey exploring steamer, Hassler, upon that scientific mission which, under the direction of Prof. Agassiz, will doubtless be productive of very important results. Just before starting on the expedition, Prof. Agassiz addressed a communication to the Superintendent of the Coast Survey, in which he ventured to assume the character of a prophet by stating in advance what it was probable would crown their efforts in the way of discovery.
