shelf, and that the low salinity of the surface-layers inshore must be connected with this movement, 

 but it is difficult to interpret the significance of such a movement. 



The lack of any salinity observation in the region of the large eddy between the Walvis Bay line 

 and the Mowe Point line prevents us from drawing any conclusion about the structure and movement 

 of these waters.
