[Ads-l] Antedating of "Oceanographer"

[Shapiro, Fred]

oceanographer (OED 1886)

1884 Report on the Scientific Results of the Voyage of H.M.S. Challenger 53 (Google Books)

When I had once entered upon this work, I somehow allowed it to expand into a more general research into the matter, which I will now proceed to give in extenso, hoping that it may prove of some utility to phyical oceanographers.
