Alagnetic Variation 19° W. — All directions are magnetic with tlie e.xception of those in column 6 (Mean direction). 



The current measurements were made from the s;s "Michael Sars" w/ien hauling the trawl. The ship was moving slowly at a fairly constant 



speed till about 17h 30™ when the speed was somewhat reduced. This reduced speed was afterwards kept nearly constant during 



the later part of the observations. 

 Notes on the weatlier: -during the e.xperiments a feeble breeze was blowing from NE. — Moderate swell.

') No. 82:— The wire was a little deflected towards W, 



-) Nos, 83, 85: — The wire was deflected about 30° towards W. 366 m. of line were let out. 

 ') No. 84: — The wire was deflected astern and a little away from the ship (towards W). 



••) No. 85:— The apparatus was tipped when t.iken in so that the shots were to some extent scattered, and the indications of di- 

 rection are consequently unreliable.
