THE LOFFODEN FISHERY IN 1880. 



577 



The temperature of the water has beeu taken daily at the surface 

 iiud at depths of 5 aud 10 fathoms. The results are set forth in Table 

 XXXIX. The lowest temperature at the bottom and surface was 0.5 

 (in the beginning" of March). The difference between the lowest weekly 

 mean temperature at 10 fathoms last year and this year was only O.U 

 at the surface and nothincf at the bottom. The highest temperatures 

 were 3.5 and 4.0 (beginning of February). Regular observations at 

 greater depths, 30 and 80 fathoms, were not taken, for want of time. 

 In all 38 series of observations were taken in 30 fathoms, and 40 at 

 greater dejtths, against 63 and 58 last year. The same instruments were 

 used in taking the observations as last year, namely, 2 Xegretti and 

 Zambra thermometers, which were kindly lent to the inspection party 

 by the Meteorological Institute. The same instruments were used by 

 Inspector Lie also. As the division into degrees is not very fine, an 

 error in reading of ^ degree is, of course, not rare. There appear, how- 

 ever, to be no more serious errors of observation. The observations 

 were made first at the surface and gradually downwards towards the 

 bottom.
