REGION OF BELLE ISLE STRAIT. 



Seasons of 1894 and 1906. 



In observing the currents in this Strait, the general procedure was to 

 anchor the surveying vessel at selected stations, to serve as fixed points from 

 which to take observations. As the current was strong when running, the deep 

 temperatures could only be obtained at slack water when the direction turned. 

 This was also the most advantageous time to ascertain whether the direction 

 of the flow, from the ocean or from the Gulf of St. Lawrence, had any effect 

 upon the temperature of the water. The following list shows the positions of 

 stations where temperatures were taken in the season of 1894.
