March.—Another set of determinations was made on March 20 and 21, 1908 (tables 
5 and 6; chart 213). Owing to the inclemency of the weather and to the fact that only 
the Blue Wing was available for the work, a smaller number of soundings was made at 
this time, and indeed the lower part of Buzzards Bay was entirely neglected. The 
results are none the less interesting. [he mean for the entire set of 36 determinations 
(including both surface and bottom) was 36.71°. <A high degree of uniformity was 
manifest throughout the entire region, for the most extreme temperatures recorded 
were 36.1° and 37.6°, while the average deviation (i. e., the average departure from 
the average) was only 0.32°. Moreover, such slight differences as did occur seemed 
to bear no definite relation to locality. ‘
