 UNDER AVERAGE

Only 18 per cent of the coastal waters of Alaska have been charted by the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey, according to the annual report of Capt. R. s.

 Three vessels were engaged in survey work in Alaska during the fiscal year ending June 30. The EX- plorer completed surveys in Behm Canal and extended them south ward into Revillagigedo Channel. This project will be continued southward into regions embraced by chart 8,075 which have not been adequately charted.
 The Surveyor continued on it's work of charting the coast of Ko- diak Island, extended work along the southeast coast from Sitkinak Strait eastward to a junction with Sitkalidak Strait The surveys made by this party supply the informa- tion for charting the greater DOT tion of the area embraced by new charts 8,536 and 8,537.
 The Discoverer extended surveys SouthWard along Kenai Peninsula, across the straits to Shuyak and along the north coast of that island. The surveys made by this party supply the information for chart 8.532 and the correction of chart 8531
 1 No geodetic work was accom- plished in Alaska during the year. Two primary tide stations were maintained in the Territory-at Ketchikan and Seward.
 Thirty-two magnetic and seismo- graph stations were occupied in the Territory during the year. The Sitka seismograph station was improved by the addition of variometers compensated for tenn perature which replaced those for merly in use. Seismograph opera tions were continued there.
