Dear Colleague:

The Deep-Sea Research II volume on the 1994 Arctic Ocean Section will be
published in November 1997. The Arctic Research Consortium of the United
States (ARCUS) has agreed to handle a bulk order and distribution.

If you purchase the volume through ARCUS, a special discount price
($50.00 US + shipping and handling) will be available. This is a one
time offer and the order must be placed by October 31. Individual
