The Antarctic Research Series is a book series designed to serve scientists and graduate students actively engaged in antarctic or closely related research and others versed in the biological or physical sciences. It provides a continuing, authoritative medium for the publication of extensive and detailed reports on antarctic research that are too lengthy or comprehensive for inclusion in standard disciplinary journals. The series has been published by the American Geophysical Union since 1963 with continuing grant support from the National Science Foundation (currently grant DPP 85-20816). The series is designed to complement antarctic field work, much of which is in cooperative, interdisciplinary projects. The series encourages the collection of papers on specific geographic areas. Many volumes focus on particular disciplines. The Antarctic Research Series has provided for rapid publication both through hardbound volumes and through soft-cover minibooks (each assigned to a thematic volume) that allow papers to be published as they are completed or as results become available. Generally, several volumes are in production simultaneously. Work in six volumes was published in 1986 and 1987.
It is interesting to note that many of the above major studies emanate from universities; some others are books issued by major publishers and destined for a wider reading public, reflecting a broad interest in the future of Antarctica. The next few years should bring international decisions and agreements favorably influenced, it is hoped, by some of the thoughts expressed in these extensive writings.
each volume to ensure that the objectives of the series are met, that the best possible papers are presented, and that publication is achieved in a timely manner. All papers in the series are subject to peer review. After scientific review and revision are complete, papers are checked by the American Geophysical Union copy editor for style, consistency, and general publications requirements. After the author has confirmed that changes made by the copy editor are satisfactory, the paper is typed to American Geophysical Union specifications. Authors who have access to electric typewriters or to word-processing equipment are urged to undertake the preparation of the final typescript. Special rates for reprints are available for authors who provide final typescript to American Geophysical Union specifications. Individuals wishing to develop a thematic volume for the Antarctic Research Series must prepare a proposal for review by the Board of Associate Editors. Authors of individual papers

Vol. 36 Geology of the Central Transantarctic Mountains

1986
Volume 36, Geology of the Central Transantarctic Mountains, is
edited by Mort D. Turner and John F. Splettstoesser. Papers 14 and 15 (by Barrett, Elliot, and Lindsay and by Wade and Cathey, respectively) were published in 1986 and complete the volume. Papers by Wade and Cathey include studies of some of the oldest rocks in the Transantarctic Mountains, those below the Paleozoic rocks of the Beacon Supergroup. Studies of younger rocks, and also of current recent glacial events, are included in the other papers published in this volume in 1986. Volumes 41, 44, 45, and 47 (Biology of the Antarctic Seas XV1, XVII, XVIII, and XIX, edited by Louis S. Kornicker) comprise
biological studies of antarctic and subantarctic protozoans (Radiolaria), sea anemones (Coelenterata), jelly fish (Scyphozoa), brittle stars (Echinodermata), pelagic shrimps (Crustacea), copepods, isopods (Tanaidacea), fish (Zoarcidae), and marine birds. Volume 46 (Geological Investigations in Northern Victoria Land, edited by Edmund Stump) comprises 18 articles, including contributions from geologists in New Zealand, Australia, and the U.S. The volume summarizes results of participants in the 1981-1982 International Northern Victoria Land Project. The Board of Associate Editors for the Antarctic Research Series sets priorities for publications and works with the editors of 1987 REVIEW

Coordination continued in 1987 on the production of a volume on the geology and paleontology of the Ellsworth Mountains. Final versions of a few outstanding chapters were completed by the authors in 1987, after which all 22 chapters planned for the volume were given a final reading by the editors (Webers, Craddock, and Splettstoesser) and submitted to the Geological Society of America (GSA). A highlight of the volume will be the colored geologic map (scale 1:250,000) of the entire range, which was printed on one sheet by Williams and Heintz Map Corporation in 1986. The map is also available separately as GSA Map and Chart MC-57 (Craddock et al. 1986). An additional plate in the volume will be the map of "Selected glacial geologic features," compiled by Denton et al. as part of their studies in the 1979-1980 field season. This plate is part of a chapter in the volume entitled Glacial history of the Ellsworth Mountains, West Antarctica by Denton et al., listed below. The map shows serrated rock crests, trimline elevations, striations, and localities of soil pits. The map was printed in two colors at a scale of 1:500,000, using the U.S. Geological Survey (1976) satellite image map as a base. The wealth of rock and fossil material collected will continue to be studied by many of the investigators who participated in the 1979-1980 field season under the direction of G.F. Webers and also by other specialists. Further field studies are contemplated to sample fossil faunas, in particular, and additional studies of the structure, sedimentology, stratigraphy, and paleomagnetics are needed to establish with certainty the relationship between the Ellsworth Mountains and the region of West Antarctica and the Antarctic Peninsula. The annotated bibliography of the Ellsworth Mountains (Webers and Splettstoesser 1982), which is being compiled on a continuing basis, included about 175 citations as of June 1987. 298
