Abstract
THE Carnegie Institution of Washington is issuing a series of reports on the scientific results of the last voyage of the Carnegie, and has recently published the first two of the series to deal with physical and chemical oceanography1. The voyage was started in May 1928, and was brought to a tragic end after 18 months, when the vessel was destroyed by fire. A general account of the voyage was published by the ship's surgeon in 19322. One cruise was made in the North Atlantic Ocean, and extensive voyages in the Pacific Ocean, crossing most areas north of 40° S. in the east, and 10° N. in the west.
