Submarine Geology and Geophysics

TLDR: A brief summary of the work and its implications might prove of interest to the readers of NATURE can be found in this article, where the tentative conclusions suggested by Dr. Bullard are in no way confirmed by these investigations, but forthcoming publications by the Geological Society of America can be consulted for amplification.

Abstract: THE brief article by Dr. Bullard entitled “Geophysical Study of Submarine Geology” which appeared in NATURE of May 18, p. 764, was gratifying in that it directed attention to some of the developments in the newest field of geological research. On the other hand, this article showed a pardonable lack of familiarity with many developments, particularly with work along the California coast carried on with the facilities of the Scripps Institution. Since the tentative conclusions suggested by Dr. Bullard are in no way confirmed by these investigations, a brief summary of the work and its implications might prove of interest to the readers of NATURE. To date only brief summaries of this work have been published, but forthcoming publications by the Geological Society of America can be consulted for amplification.
