Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tidal Observations in the Arctic Seas Dear sir: The records of the tidal observations made under the direction of Dr. Kane, in the second Grinnell Expedition to the Arctic Regions, were placed in my hands by his late lamented father, Judge Kane, in December, 1857. Dr. Kane had selected Assistant Charles A. Schott, of the U. S. Coast Survey, for the reduction of a considerable portion of the observations made on that expedi tion; and I, therefore, placed them in Mr. Schott's possession for reduction, and recommend his paper for publication in the Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge. It is proper to state that the computations were at the expense of the Smithsonian Institution. This is the sixth and last paper of the series.
