There is a great similariU" both in temperature and in 5alinit\- at these 

 stations of different years let. Figs. 15 Ä: 16I. It looks as if the salinities of 

 1910 have a tendency to be a little too high, on the whole, at the two 

 stations 10 and 11, considering that at 600 metres there were found sali- 

 nities of 34.97 and 34-99 '^ 00 ^'th temperatures of 1.84° and 0.45^ C. 

 At a temperature of 0.45° C. the salinies hardly can have been much above 

 34.91. or 34.92 00 at most. 



Our Star. 17 179° 13' N. 7"o'E.i. with a depth of 1210 metres, was 

 20 miles north of Stat. 17 of the Is.achsex Expedition 178^53' N., 7' 20' E.I 

 with the same depth of i 210 metres, and 20 miles south of the Isachsen. 

 Stat. 37 179" 33' N., S'' 10' E-l. Owing to bad weather we had to stop be- 

 fore the observations between the surface and 300 metres had been taken. 

 Below 300 metres the following observations were taken at the three stations : 



At 300 metres the temperature was lower in 1912 than in 1910: a: 

 500 and 700 metres both temperatures and salinities were considerably
