Abstract
IN NATURE of July 7, p. 29, Dr. Hans Pettersson proposes that the submarine ridge running across the north-east Indian Ocean should be named after the late Prof. Johannes Schmidt. It should be pointed out, however, that the ridge in question has been baptised by Schmidt himself Carlsbergryggen (Carlsberg Ridge), the name taken from the Carlsberg Foundation, which fund made it possible for Prof. Schmidt to carry out the circumnavigation with the Dana (vide “Dana's Togt omkring Jorden 1928–1930”, Copenhagen 1932, p. 255, fig. 198 B).
