Annotated record of the detailed examination of Mn deposits from the Albatross 1904-1905 stations

U. S. Fish Commission Steamer " Albatross " was placed at the disposal of Agassiz, Alexander for an expedition to the Eastern part of the Pacific South of the Panama canl. The collections made during this expedition give ample material for extensive monographs on the holothurians, the siliceous sponges, the cephalopods, the jelly-fishes, the pelagic crustaceans, worms, and fishes of the Eastern Pacific, as well as on the bottom deposits and on the radiolarians and dinoflagellates, diatoms, and other protozoans collected by the tow-nets. Part of the bottom deposits were later sent to Murray John in Scotland for detailed analysis. These observations are reported in: Murray, J. and Lee, G. V., 1909.
