In this, the second edition of Bulletin No. 40, all later information has been added; it has been compiled in the office of the Coast and Geodetic Survey from the following sources:Reports of United States naval officers published in Hydrographic Office Notice to Mariners.Report of Lieut, Commander L. Tanner, U. S. N., commanding U. S- Fish Commission steamer Albatrasa, from a reconnissance of Bristol Bay in 1890.Reports of J. F.

D. H. Jurvis, U. S. R. C. S, who was detailed by the United States Revenue-Cutter Service for this duty.As absolute accuracy in a work of this class is scarcely possible, navigators will confer a favor by notifying the Superintendent of the Coast and Geodetic Survey of errors which they may discover, or of additional matter which they think should be inserted for the information of mariners as rapidly as possible to include all portions of Alaska west of Yakutat Bay, the Aleutian Islands, and the Arctic Ocean cast of Point Barrow, and the cooperation of navigators is requested to this end.
