[NOTE BY A.M.C.] The 25 depth records of the Ernest Holt for which the exact 

 positions have not yet been published have been omitted from these calculations as 

 some of them are from off Spitzbergen and the central Barents Sea as well as from the 

 Bear Island area. They range from 95 to 256 meters, averaging 186 meters. 



Thermal range. The following tabulation shows the entire thermal range and that 

 for such of the preceding geographical divisions as there exist records: 



[NOTE BY A.M.C.] The temperature recorded at Willem Barents station 10 

 (+4.20 C.) is not included, being suspiciously high for the locality. (Though the 

 Ernest Holt has recorded +4.52 C. at one station apparently off northern Spitzbergen, 

 the exact position not having yet been published. Only the four Ernest Holt stations 

 for which details have been published are included here, since the others are from 

 Spitzbergen and the central Barents Sea as well as from the Bear Island area. The 19 

 other bottom temperatures range from 1.58 C. to +4.52 C., averaging +0.71 C.).
