The viable micropopulation at three altitudes (152, 1,066, and 1,981 meters) of a land air mass as it traversed an ocean was determined. At the low altitude, a consistent pattern of decrease in numbers of land-originating microorganisms with increasing distance from shore was observed. At the higher altitudes, the observed pattern was one of irregularity. At the lower altitude the percentages of bacteria and fungi were approximately equal near the coast, but as distance from the coast increased, fungi predominated over the bacteria at all sampling locations. The greatest number of different genera of both bacteria and fungi were obtained at or near the coast. Fungi of the genera Alternaria, Hormodendron, Penicillium, and Aspergillus, and bacteria of the genera Micrococcus and Bacterium predominated at all altitudes and locations.
测定了一块陆地气团在穿越海洋时三个海拔高度（152米、1066米和1981米）处的存活微生物种群。在低海拔处，观察到陆地源微生物数量随着离岸距离增加而持续减少的模式。在较高海拔处，观察到的模式是不规则的。在较低海拔处，海岸附近细菌和真菌的百分比大致相等，但随着离岸距离增加，在所有采样地点真菌数量超过细菌。细菌和真菌的不同属数量在海岸处或海岸附近最多。链格孢属、被孢霉属、青霉属和曲霉属的真菌，以及微球菌属和杆菌属的细菌在所有海拔高度和地点都占主导地位。
