Abstract:
The author is summarising the marine deposits of the south-west Pacific from a total of 773 samples taken during cruises of hms Challenger in 1874; USS Tuscarora and USS Enterprise in 1875 and 1876; HMS Egeria in 1888, 1889, and 1890; HMS Penguin in 1894, 1895, and 1896; and HMS Waterwitch in 1895.

Comment:
From 1983 until 1989 NOAA-NCEI compiled the NOAA-MMS Marine Minerals Geochemical Database from journal articles, technical reports and unpublished sources from other institutions. At the time it was the most extended data compilation on ferromanganese deposits world wide. Initially published in a proprietary format incompatible with present day standards it was jointly decided by AWI and NOAA to transcribe this legacy data into PANGAEA. This transfer is augmented by a careful checking of the original sources when available and the encoding of ancillary information (sample description, method of analysis...) not present in the NOAA-MMS database.
