Abstract
ON several occasions reference has been made in NATURE to the oceanographical expedition of the Dana, 1928–1930. With the support of various Departments of the Danish Government, the East Asiatic Company, and especially of the Carlsberg Foundation, Prof. Johs. Schmidt planned and directed a lengthy cruise in the tropical waters of the Indo-Pacific, to supplement his many years' investigations in the Atlantic and thus to complete the ‘magic circle’. The volume now before us* is the first ripe fruit. Richly and beautifully illustrated, in clear print, it is professedly a popular account of the voyage with just sufficient leaven of scientific fact and theory to hold one's interest and make a connected story. The illustrations accompanying this article are from the volume.
