Abstract
A Preliminary survey of the area with regard to the distribution of the total nitrogen and phosphate content of the muds was described in a previous paper (Moore, 5). A number of stations were worked, and these were further examined for nature and distribution of particles, water content, and density, and as a result of this survey certain stations were chosen as suitable for more extensive work. At the same time it became evident that the layers in which the greatest and most important changes were taking place were those within a few centimetres of the surface, and these were therefore studied most intensively.Keywords
