The densities of the water as above given, are all that were obtained in 

 these regions; and density determinations were not continued during the 

 investigations off the southeastern coasts of Newfoundland, because the temper- 

 atures of the water were found to be of most service there, in relation to the 

 movements of the water. The tracing of these movements was the primary 

 purpose in taking the temperatures and densities; and in the area of the Gulf 

 of St. Lawrence, the density of the water was specially serviceable for this. 



Stations off Southeastern Newfoundland in 1903. — The Stations at which 

 temperatures were obtained, fall into two groups; those in the vicinity of Cape 

 Race in the Labrador current on the eastern side of Newfoundland; and those 

 off the bays on the south coast from Cape Race westward to St. Pierre and 

 Miquelon.

 Station G, in 60 fathoms. Position: from Cape St. Mary, 25 miles 201°. 



Station N. — Off the west side of Placentia bay, in 83 fathoms. In line with the 

 deep gulley of 100 fathoms which runs up the middle of the bay. Position 

 from Laun head, 29 miles 172°.
