east side of the channel, the curves for 35.5 and 36°/,, suggesting, 
although they do not precisely reproduce, the curves for 10° and 
15° temperatures, respectively. The lack of data from the mid- 
depths at station 10201 leaves the possibility open that there 
may have been a tongue of still salter water at the west end of the 
channel, to correspond with the tongue of high temperature there.

Fic. 35.—Temperature in the Straits of Florida at 200 meters, March, 1914. 
At 600 meters, however (fig. 39), the warm water at station 10201 
has lost its tonguelike character, being continuous with the general 
temperature (12°-13°) of the southeastern and eastern parts of the 
Straits. At this level the water was 7°-10° along the Florida side 
of the channel, and there was asecond cold area off Habana (9°-10°), 
apparently a tongue from the west.
