ISELIN EXPEDITION ON WAY TO MIDDLE ATLANTIC WATERS

Party to Conduct Studies of Flora and Fauna of Bermuda Seas

The two-masted schooner "Chance", under the command of Columbus O'Donell Iselin '26, is now on its way to the waters off Bermuda. Iselin is leading an expedition to collect for the Museum of Comparative Zoology specimens of the flora and fauna of the middle Atlantic and to make a special study of the currents of the Gulf Stream.

After two weeks spent about the Bermuda group, and two weeks in the Gulf Stream itself the party will spend the remainder of the summer studying that part of the Atlantic lying between the Gulf Stream and the eastern shore of the United States. A careful study will he made of this body of water, whose temperature is considerably lower than that of the Gulf Stream itself.
