INVESTIGATION OF OYSTER SPAWNING, ETC., MILFORD, CONN.

Although these data refer to the inshore areas, they reflect the trend of conditions 

 in the Sound, where the water generally is from 2 to 3 degrees lower than the daily 

 average in the harbor. This decrease in temperature, which is found as we leave 

 Station 1 in the upper part of the harbor and go out to Station 6 in the Sound, is 

 shown clearly by Figure 4. In this figure the distribution of temperature is shown 

 for July 15, 1925, when the water in the harbor and Sound was unusually warm for 

 this time of the year. The temperature records at Station 2 in the harbor are the 

 most complete, however, and have been analyzed and are presented in Tables 2 and 3, 

 which give the maximum, minimum, mean, and range of temperature for each day 

 of the summers of 1925 and 1926.
