The temperature of the minima at 100 metres were there on the whole 

 lower ( — 0.95O and even — i.S*^ C.) than at Stat. 41 on Sept. 6, 1910, 

 while the salinities were nearly the same (34.54 and 34.53 "00). In the 

 inner branch of the fjord, in Sassen Bay, the minimum was — 0.88 ^ C. 

 with a salinity of 34.50 0/00 in 80 metres near the bottom. Only at one 

 station (Stat. 87), in Green Harbour, had the mininuim in 100 metres ap- 

 proximately the same temperature (0.55° C.) as at Stat. 41 of 1910; but 

 the salinity was higher (34.69 ^/oo). At Stat. 91, in the sea outside the 

 mouth of the Ice Fjord, there was also a low temperature-minimum of 

 — 0.5 C. in 100 metres, with a salinity of 34.63 "00. 



Similar minima were also observed between 60 and 100 metres at the 

 Swedish Stations IV— VII, of July 24th and 25th, 1908, in the Ice Fjord. 

 The temperatures of the minima were there on the whole low, even — 1.23'^
