Abstract
DURING the 1962 Zephyrus expedition of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California, fourteen heat-flow measurements were made from Martinique to the Canary Islands. The measurements are on a line except on the crest of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, where an area was sampled. The instrumentation has been discussed previously1,2, and our preliminary values are presented in Table 1 and in Fig. 1 with bathymetry.
