DENIS L. FOX is professor of marine biochemistry at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California, La Jolla, where he has served on the faculty for 26 years. He received a bachelors degree in chemistry from the University of California at Berkeley in 1925. After four years in industrial chemistry, he returned to graduate work at Stanford, where he received his doctorate in biological sciences (biochemistry) in 1931. Dr. Fox was a Rockefeller Research Fellow at Cambridge University in 1938-39, and a Guggenheim Foundation Fellow in 1945-46. He is the author of numerous papers dealing with marine animal life.

EUGENE F. CORCORAN is assistant professor of marine biochemistry at the Marine Laboratory of the University of Miami, Coral Gables, Florida. Formerly he was a graduate research biochemist at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, La Jolla, California, where he was primarily engaged in research on the organic constituents of sea water and marine sediments. Mr. Corcoran received a BS degree in 1940 from North Dakota Agricultural College, Fargo, North Dakota. His subsequent experience includes two tours of duty as a naval officer, three years as instructor of mathematics at San Diego State College, and one year as research assistant at Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Mr. Corcoran is a member of the American Association for Advancement of Science, Sigma Xi, and Marine Biological Ass'n of United Kingdom.
