Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The U. S. S. 'Albatross' in Lower Californian Seas, Cruise of 1911: Articles Collected From the American Museum Bulletin and Novitates, and From Zoologica, of the Years 1912-1925
The work of the 'albatross' in the Lower California region, as set forth in the fifteen reports comprising this volume, added much to what was already known of a section of coast and sea bottom occupying an intermediate position between the previously explored North Pacific and Panamic regions. During many years of hydrographic and fisheries work by this vessel, between California and Alaska, and also between Panama, the Galapagos Islands and southern Mexico, oceanographic knowledge respecting the eastern Pacific had been greatly advanced.
