A SUMMARY OF HYDROGRAPHIC STATION DATA FROM THE ATLANTIC PLANKTON CRUISES OF THE R/V PATHFINDER December 1959 - December 1960 The data included in this report have resulted from a series of monthly offshore cruises conducted by the Ichthyology Research Section. The cruises were made to obtain information on the distribution and abundance of pelagic eggs and larvae of fishes. Since the biological results will :be reported in a series of separate papers (Joseph, Massmann and Norcross, 1961), it was felt that the raw hydrographic data shpuld be_ made available in a single source.
