The Voyage of the "Challenger".—The Atlantic: A preliminary account of the general results of the exploring voyage of H.M.S. "Challenger," during the year 1873 and the early part of the year 1876, By Sir
C. Wyville Thomson, Knt., LL.D., D.Sc.,
F.R.SS.L.&E., &c., Director of the Civilian Staff of the "Challenger" Exploring Expedition, 2 vols. Published by the authority of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty. London: Macmillan and Co. 1877. Price 45s.
These handsome, interesting, and instructive volumes are the latest contribution to the history of deep-sea investigation. They follow a natural sequence the author's former work, "The Depths of the Sea," which gave an account of the general results of the dredging cruises of the "Lightning" and "Porcupine," 1868-69-70, the scientific work of which was under the direction of Sir Wyville Thomson, Dr. Carpenter, and Mr. J. Gwyn Jeffreys, These volumes in like manner deal with the Atlantic portion of the more recount voyage of H.M.S. "Challenger."
It must be borne in mind that these two volumes are only a preliminary instrument of the authoritative account of the general results of the "Challenger" voyage, and that years may yet elapse before
