Abstract. W. Badon Ghyben and A. Herzberg are commonly credited with the first scientific description of fresh ground water floating on deeper saline water along coastal areas of the world. As C. W. Carlston has pointed out, J. DuCommun should receive the credit for the first quantitative statement of the “Ghyben-Herzberg principle,” DuCommun's work having antedated publications by both Badon Ghyben and Herzberg by more than 60 years. Moreover, two well-known scholars, Pliny the Elder and Charles Darwin also wrote on the topic long before Badon Ghyben and Herzberg.
