The Voyage of HMS “Challenger” A Summary of the Scientific Results

Abstract

THE two new volumes of the Challenger Expedition have appeared, and with them this momentous enterprise has arrived at its final close. It is well worth our while to seize this occasion for a few words of reflection on a scientific drama, which is equally great in all its parts and dimensions, as in the effects it has produced and will go on to produce, on the progress of a group of sciences which every day grow more important in their influence on human intellect and thought.

The Voyage of H.M.S. “Challenger.” A Summary of the Scientific Results.

(With Appendices). Two Parts. (London: Eyre and Spottiswoode, 1895.)
