1906. No. 3: AMUNDSEN’S OCEANOGRAPHIC OBSERVATIONS IN 1901. 13 
It has been pointed out above that water-samples taken from the 
surface strata on very cold days, especially with the Amundsen Water- 
Bottle, may give much too high salinities owing to formation of ice on 
the water-bottle, or they may give too low salinities owing to ice-needles 
floating in the water. 
The results of Amundsen’s observations are given in Table I and II, 
at the end of this paper. For further information the reader is referred 
to the explanations of these tables.
