Abstract

These original letters from Thomson to Tizard are concerned with the publication of the results of the CHALLENGER Expedition, as well as the study of the Faroe Channel and the eventual delineation of the Wyville Thomson Ridge with its diversity of "cold and warm area" bottom fauna. They also provide evidence of Thomson's indefatigability as well as certain historical sidelights.
