countercurrents may lay further off shore and to the north, as he indi- 

 cates, so that at least the northerly one might perhaps be brought in 

 contact under still unknown conditions with the Equatorial Counter- 

 current. But as for the southerly one, there seems to be no other ex- 

 planations as a bending of the isotherms in the open ocean from their 

 run SW-NE to the course NW-SE. These problems must be left open 

 to further investigations.
