 the Dutch Coast ; and which had, further, a sufficient influence upon 

 the German and Danish Stations to produce the discrepancy in those 

 years that has just been mentioned. 



An earlier series of observations, for the years 1887-1897, for six 

 German Baltic ports is given by Dr. A. Westphal; and to these Kriimmel

adds the data from Kiel for 1887-1900. For these latter years we 

 have also data from eight Swedish Stations, furnished us by Dr. P. G. 

 Kosen. The curve which these data (Table L.) give us is an irregular 

 one, and its most conspicuous feature is a high maximum in the year 

 1899, in which all the cm^ves (and all the separate Swedish Stations) 

 agree.
