coastal region east of Cape Leeuwin (see Schott, 1933, pi. 28). At all times of the year 

 the current south of North-West Cape has a tendency to set towards the shore, and there 

 is no upwelling of cold water along the coast, such as that which is found off the west 

 coasts of Africa and South America. 



At the northern end of section 10 (Plates XIX-XXI), south-east of Cape Leeuwin, 

 the surface water had a temperature of about 21 C. with a salinity of 35-6 °/ 0O , 

 properties which are very similar to those of the southward coastal current found west 

 of Fremantle. Between 37 and 38 20' S there was a further body of warm water
