The first account of the latest gravity Expedition in the west indies

Summary of Scientific Results

The principal scientific results of the Navy Gravity Expedition were as follows :

• 1. A prominent gravity anomaly was mapped,

• 2. The Nares Deep was shown to extend southward as a foredeep to the Leeward Islands.

• 3. An uncharted shoal, which is of immediate practical importance for navigators, was discovered in the Anegada Passage.

• 4. A crystal-controlled chronometer supplied by the Bell Telephone Laboratories was made to work perfectly on board ship. This greatly increased the accuracy obtainable in all time-measurements which are made at sea.
