COUNCIL — SEPT. 1910 ~ APPEND. G — 38 — 



The following arrangements however were fixed. 



Finland: A cruise would be made in the Gulf of Finland in November 

 1910, when amongst other things the nitrate and nitrite contents of the water 

 would be measured. In May 1911 some stations would be investigated in the 

 northern part of the Baltic. In the summer and autumn of 1911 an extensive 

 investigation of the whole region would be made. Further, the observations from 

 the Finnish lightships would be continued and would embrace inter alia current- 

 measurements made thrice daily. 



Russia: A systematic investigation of the White Sea and occasionally also 

 of the neighbouring parts of the Arctic Ocean is projected and will perhaps already 

 be started during the Summer of 1911. 



Germany: Cruises would be made in the Western Baltic from Bornholm 

 to the Little Belt in the winter of 1910 — 11, at intervals of 3 to 4 weeks. In 

 February 1911 one of these cruises would be extended to Danzig Bay. In May 

 1911 a cruise is projected through the entire German area in the Baltic and 

 North Sea. 



Denmark: Current-measurements at different depths would be made in 

 the Kattegat from two lightships (Schultz's Grund and perhaps Anholt Knob), and 

 in connection with these the temperature of the water would also be measured. 

 In the Great Belt a series of coastal stations have been set up, where the tem- 

 perature and salinity of the surface water are to be determined in conjunction 

 with fishery-statistical investigations. Experimentally a thermograph has been 

 anchored at the bottom of the Great Belt and these experiments would be con- 

 tinued. From April 1911 and during the two following months hydrographical 

 observations would be made in connection with fishery investigations by the 

 steamer "Thor" in the Danish waters, during which the connection between the 

 migration of fishes and the oxygen contents of the water will especially be studied, 

 special attention being paid to the Bornholm Deep. On the west coast of Jutland 

 the currents in deep water would be studied by means of bottom current-bottles 

 in connection with plaice marking experiments. Lastly, surface observations would 

 be continued along the routes Copenhagen — Iceland and Copenhagen — New York 

 on the same scale as in the past year. 



Sweden: The final programme has not yet been fixed, but at least two 

 quarterly cruises Avould be made in the Skager Rak. Further, current measure- 

 ments would be carried out, partly in the Swedish fjords of the Skager Rak, 

 partly on the Baltic coast of Sweden and likewise local hydrographical investi- 

 gations in connection with the fisheries. The collecting of surface observations in 

 the North Sea would be continued unchanged and similar observations may
