15° and 36°/,, coincide with each other, but the curve for 20° 
temperature, which likewise dips near Florida, runs practically 
horizontal from the center of the channel eastward across the Bahama 
Bank. The mass of 36.5°/,. water once more appears at 200 meters;

but instead of being limited on the east by a coast line, as was the 
case in the preceding profiles, it now extends across the northern 
end of the Bahama Bank, to join the 36.5°/,. surface water farther 
east (fig. 16). There is no surface water as warm as 24° in this 
profile; but the difference between the warmest readings in it and
