CURRENT-BOTTLES. 



Gulfstream from the Fseroe-Islands to Norway. We must suppose, that this is a fact, caused by the 

 frequent southwesterly winds, but at the same time it seems strange, that this has not been proved 

 long ago or at least hitherto fully proved. Still it must be remembered, that the temperature has 

 always been used for deciding in former times between Polar-water and Atlantic-water, but as regards 

 surface-water this way of deciding is unreliable, the Polar-current-water far down South having in the 

 autumn and the first part of the winter almost as high a temperature as the Gulfstream-water. 



It must be reserved for future hydrographical observations to state more exact details with 

 regard to this, as it would be most interesting to have light thrown upon these matters (which are 

 most important in the interest of the fishing), especially as regards the presence of the Polar-water in 

 the Skager Rack. 



The result of the drifting of the bottles thrown has accordingly confirmed the supposition, 

 which existed concerning the rotation movement in the Northern Ocean, and has given an .idea as to 

 the speed of the same.
