THE ATLANTIC OFF NOVA SCOTIA AND NEWFOUNDLAND. 



The temperatures and densities of the Atlantic waters in the offing of Nova 

 Scotia and southeastern Newfoundland, which were obtained so far as there 

 was opportunity, may serve as a term of comparison with those in the Gulf of 

 St. Lawrence and the Labrador current, where they are more or less influenced 

 by the admixture of fresh water or by ice conditions. The amount of variation 

 in the density, of these open waters is also noteworthy, with relation to the 

 amount of variation found elsewhere. The observations are taken in exactly 

 the same way, as regards instruments and methods, as in the other regions; 

 and they are thus truly comparative.
