In a similar manner, we should be able, from the movement of the water, to- 

 ascertain the stability of the same. If the water flows parallel with the coast, it is 

 stable; whereas water setting in towards the shore will be homogeneous. On the 

 eastern side of jSTewfoundland, for instance, the water flows up into the baj^s (vide

fig. 28). From this we may conclude that the water here is of but slight stability. 

 On the southeast coast of Newfoundland, on the other hand, the water sets outwards- 

 from the shore, even occasioning a reverse current in towards land. Here, therefore, 

 the water is in stable layer formation.
