Abstract: Two years ago the Department of Tropical Research of the New York Zoological Society planned and carried out a trip to the Bay of Gonave in Haiti for the purpose of studying the fishes of those waters and the life of the coral reefs. Mr. William Beebe, the director of the Expedition, wished to have a permanent record made of the life on the reefs in a form which could be presented to the public. He therefore decided to equip the expedition for taking undersea motion pictures. As the funds available were limited it was necessary to use as simple and inexpensive an outfit as could be devised. On the suggestion of the writer, who accompanied the expedition as cinematographer, a watertight box was designed by Mr. Beebe and Mr. Tee-Van to accommodate a spring-driven camera.
