RELATION OF THE SUBMARINE BANKS OF THE NORTH ATLANTIC

TO THE PROBLEM

There remain to be considered a small array of undersurface
insular items which seem germane to our inquiry. Sir John Mur-
ray tells us that:

Another reirarkable feature of the North Atlantic is the series of sub-
merged cones or oceanic shoals made known off the northwest coast of
Africa between the Canary Islands and the Spanish peninsula, of which
we may mention: the "Coral Patch" in lat. 34 57' N., long. 11 57' W. t
covered by 302 fathoms; the "Dacia Bank" in lat. 31 9' N., long. 13 34'
W., covered by 47 fathoms; the "Seine Bank" in lat. 33 47' N., long. 14
i' W., covered by 81 fathoms; the "Concepcion Bank" in lat. 30 N. and
long. 13 W., covered by 88 fathoms; the "Josephine Bank" in lat. 37
N., long. 14 W., covered by 82 fathoms; the "Gettysburg Bank" in lat.
36 N., long. 12 W., covered by 34 fathoms. 18
