Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Depths of the Ocean: A General Account of the Modern Science of Oceanography Based Largely on the Scientific Researches of the Norwegian Steamer Michael Sars in the North Atlantic
AT the International Congress for the Exploration of the Sea held on the invitation of the Swedish Government in Stockholm in 1899, Sir John Murray was the chief British delegate, and acted as president of the physical and chemical section, which drew up a programme of work for the proposed investigations in the North Sea and in the Norwegian Sea. Although his official connection with these marine researches came to an end with the close of the first Congress, it is well known that he has followed with great interest all the proceedings of the International Council during the past ten or twelve years.
