/. Observations West and North of the Cape Peninsula. 



The various stations at which observations were taken are shown 

 on Plates I and II. Stations I-Y were visited on 5th-9th March, 

 1900. On the 13th, Station V was repeated and some consider- 

 able changes were noted, there being a rise in surface temperature 

 of 2°"1 and a fall in bottom temperature (155 fms.), of 2°. The 

 difference being probably connected with the direction of the wind, 

 which was from the N.W. on the first visit, there being no wi^d 

 •on the second visit. The vessel then proceeded to Station VI, 

 about 50 miles from land, and thence returned, taking serial 

 temperatures at about every 10 miles. On the 27th, Station XII 

 was repeated, and on the 29th another line of observations was 

 run out to 70 miles from land to Station XVI to the South of the 

 former. On the 17th April a return line was run to Cape Point.
