“…In order to store and analyze data, an electronic data processing system was designed (King, Watson, and Gould, 1967). This system can simultaneously analyze data pertaining to sighting, environment, and location and duration of observation.…”

“…Weather and oceanographic conditions were coupled to each sighting when possible, and all information was later transferred to magnetic tape from which rapid summations of data for single species or species groups could be drawn for analysis. For a more comprehensive view of the Automatic Data Processing program, see King, Watson, and Gould (1967). As field work was performed for the most part on a year-round basis, migrational patterns, seasonal movements, and other factors can be analyzed to determine variations present in seasonal timing and areas utilized by the various species concerned.…”

SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ZOOLOGY • NUMBER 158 SERIAL PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION The emphasis upon publications as a means of diffusing knowledge was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution. In his formal plan for the Institution, Joseph Henry articulated a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge." This keynote of basic research has been adhered to over the years in the issuance of thousands of titles in serial publications under the Smithsonian imprint, commencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series:
