Xo. 



THE SEA WEST OF SPITSBERGEN. 



^ On the shore just inside this station a spring was coming up from the soil, the water 

 of which had a temperature of 24.2 C. 



- The Richter reversing thermometer Xo. 60 was used with the Ekman reversing 

 waterbottle when the water-samples were taken ; but the thermometer gave absurd 

 readings fe.g- — 2.45", — 3.11^ etcs.). A new series of temperatures were taken 

 with similar results. The temperatures were then taken with the old Pettersson insu- 

 lated waterbottle (as given above).
