BRENDA P. LAMING Fredericton, N.B. This compilation deals with current research activity on Quaternary sedimentary deposits, both Recent and Pleistocene, in the Atlantic Region, listing all work, of any kind, that has been reported to the editors of Maritime Sediments. The Atlantic Region is defined, for the purposes of this compilation, as the Atlantic Provinces of Canada, adjacent land areas, and marine areas from Cape Cod to the Eastern Canadian Arctic and from the St. Lawrence estuary to the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Most of the information has been obtained in response to questionnaires answered during September and October, 1966. Other items, marked with an asterisk (*) in the main list, are those for which no questionnaire was returned: information for these was derived from previous issues of Maritime Sediments, and a few are from the G.S.C. Report of Activities, May to October, 1965 (Geological Survey of Canada Paper 66-1, ed. S E. JENNESS, 1966); these items are therefore less up-to-date. For each project, the main list shows the names of research worker(s), institutions(s) and status of research; the classified list indexes key topics. Where news or a report of the work has appeared in Maritime Sediments previously, reference is made on the right-hand side (citation of volume, number and page); if from the G.S.C.Report of Activities, page reference (66-1 p--- ) is made instead. Institutions of those responding to questionnaires are listed on pages 204-205. Status of research, as reported by the questionnaire respondent, is indicated by letters a.t the left margin: rs recently started a. active nc nearly complete rc recently completed s suspended, will be completed later * no questionnaire returned.

About 10 samples containing nc fresh water peats have been obtained from the shelf off New England at depths as great as 80 metres. Their presence serves as added information of lowered sea level during the past 12,000 years (see also EMERY, Atlantic Continental Margin) EMERY, K.O. W.H.O.I.; F.C. WHITMORE Jr. U.S.G.S; & D.J.P. SWIFT Puerto Rico nc Elephants on the continental shelf. 30 teeth of mastodons and mammoths have been dredged from the continental shelf off New England; their presence supplements other findings related to low sea levels during the past 15,000 years. The range of variation of tooth measurements is much less than for similar collections from land, a result of the relatively short time span (20,000 to 10,000 years) represented by the samples (see also EMERY, Atlantic Continental Margin).
