Abstract

WE are glad to learn that steps are being taken to bring about such a general application from men of science to the Government for further deep-sea explorations as we referred to some little time ago. This is as it should be. We hear also, that, on the invitation of some of the leaders of science there, Mr. Gwyn Jeffreys will proceed to America in the middle of August, to inspect, in company with Prof. Agassiz, the collections obtained in the American dredgings. Such a proceeding will be of the utmost value to science, and no one is more fitted than Mr. Gwyn Jeffreys to perform such an important work.
