bring the expedition to successful

tube the party from the museum de

made sketches, measurements ane

chamber, quite in comfort and In nor

said II was the first time that scientific
artists have made sketches on the floor
of the sea in the Williamson tube
More than sixty water color sketches
were made and more than 1000 pho
tographs and 1000 feet of motion pic
ture films.
The most important result of the use
Of the submarine tube, Dr.. Miner said
was the opportunity Of recording with
the naked eye the marvellous sub
marine vistas and groupings of the
corals as seen horizontally through the
water. 1t is probably. according te
DR. Miner, the first time that barrier
reef has been studied from its angle
and an understanding of Its real meth.
