No. 2. SPITSBERGEN WATERS. 107 



TABLE I 



gives the observations of the Temperature, Salinity, and Density, taken on board the 

 VeslemSy, between July loth and September 4th, 1912. 



The heading for each Station gives the Number of the Station, the Date, the Latitude 

 and Longitude, or in some cases a description of the locality. 



ist Column. The Hour of the Observation, Central European Time. 



2nd Column. Depth in Metres. A line under the number indicates bottom. 



jrd Column. Instrument used. B = Bucket used for Surface- Water. A = The Auto- 

 matic Insulating Water-Bottle. I = Stop-Cock Water-Bottle with the Richter reversing thermo- 

 meters No. P.T.R. 37552 and No. 316 (where two temperatures are given the second one was 

 taken with the latter thermometer). II = Stop-Cock Water-Bottle with the Richter reversing 

 thermometers No. P.T.R. 37551 and P.T.R. 37544 (where two temperatures are given the 

 second one was taken with the latter thermometer). E. An Ekman Reversing Water-Bottle 

 with the Richter reversing thermometers No. P.T.R. 37546 and P.T.R 37548. Where two 

 temperatures are given the second one was taken with the latter thermometer till July 29th, 

 and later with the Richter reversing thermometer No. P.T.R. 37547. RB = The Reversing 

 Stop-Cock Water-Bottle with the Richter reversing thermometer No. P.T.R. 37549. PN = 

 The Pettersson Nansen Insulating Water-Bottle with the Nansen thermometer No. P.T.R. 

 37554 an< 3 the Richter reversing thermometer No. P.T.R. 37547 till July 29th, and later 

 the Richter reversing thermometer No. P.T.R. 37548. When two temperatures are given 

 with this water-bottle the second one was taken with the Richter thermometers, otherwise 

 the temperatures were taken with the Nansen thermometer. 



4th Column, t C. The corrected Temperature (Centigrade) of the Sea-Wa'er in situ, 

 referred to the hygrogen thermometer. 



jth Column, S /oo. Salinity in per mille. An asterisk after the number indicates 

 that the salinity of the sample was determined (with the Interferometer) both by Mr. J. HEL- 

 LAND, and by Mr. A. 0YAN. 



6th Column, o^. Density (i.e. 1000 (S~Q i)) of the Sea-Water at the temperature 

 in situ when the pressure is reduced to one atmosphere.
