We have now considered a series of observations at three 

 different regions more or less isolated around the Cape Peninsula, 

 viz : — (1) those to the West of the Cape Peninsula, showing high 

 teinperatures off shore and great variations in temperature and 

 specific gravity, (2) those at Simon's Bay, characterized by a 

 higher temperature than (3) those at liobben Island, which are 

 characterized by their relatively low temperature. 



We therefore turn with some interest to 



III. Observations between Table Bay and False Bay. 



These consist of (1) records of temperatures and water samples 

 obtained by the Government Steamer on various voyages between 

 Cape Town and Simon's Town, taken at such intervals as time and 

 weather permitted, (2) a record of temperatures and water 

 samples taken by the Mail Steamers at Table Bay, Hout Bay, 

 Cape Point and Cape Hangklip. 



As before, these observations are recorded in extenso, as being 

 of more importance than any deductions which may at this stage 

 be drawn from them.
