1 The messenger-lead was not heard to strike 

 deeper than at 75 metres. The line was 

 then several times hauled up a few metres 

 and let down again, but the striking of the 

 messenger at 100 and 200 metres was not 

 heard. Thus it is possible that the water- 

 bottles at 100 and 200 metres may have 

 been closed at some higher level during the 

 hauling up.

1 The reversing thermometer did not register, 

 and this temperature, given by the Nansen 

 thermometer, is evidently too high, giving 

 too low density. The hauling up of the water 

 bottle may have lasted so long that its insu- 

 lation was spoilt, or it may have been 

 closed at some higher level, but this seems 

 less probable.

1 The observations at this depth seem doubt- 

 ful. It is strange that the readings of the 

 Nansen thermometer and the reversing ther- 

 m.ometer do not agree, which might indicate 

 that the water-bottle has not been closed 

 properly at 230" metres, but during the 

 hauling up. The salinity (and density) is also 

 remarkably low.
