36 EXPLORATIONS, WESTERN ATLANTIC, STEAMER BACHE, 1914. 
At 800 meters the distribution of temperature was much the same, 
coldest off Florida, and again off Habana, warmest in the center of 
the channel between Key West and Habana, and on the east side of 
the Straits, but the absolute value everywhere 1°-3° lower. Below 
800 meters there was a general rise in temperature from north and 
west to south and east.

Fiq. 36.—Salinity in the Straits of Florida at 200 meters, March, 1914. 
Owing to the insufficiency of the records on the Key West-Habana 
line, it is not possible to plot the 600-meter salinity. In the northern 
half of the channel it ranged from about 34.9°/,, off Florida to 35.6°/¢, 
off the Bahama Bank, the curve for 35°/,, running, roughly, north 
and south. Judging from stations 10200 and 10199, where the 
salinity, respectively, was 35 and 35.27°/,., and from station 10197,
