possibly also be obtained from a steamer route across the Atlantic. An extended 

 cruise in the Baltic and Skager Rak is planned for May 1911. And lastly, hydro- 

 graphical observations from lightships in the Kattegat would also be made in con- 

 junction with the Danish investigations. 



Holland: A quarterly cruise would be made in May 1911 similar to that 

 of May 1910. The systematic collection of surface samples from the North Sea 

 would be continued. Further, current measurements in deep water would be regularly 

 undertaken as far as possible. 



England: Monthly hydrographical cruises would be made in the North Sea 

 along a line from the Tyne to the Skager Rak (thus in the deep water north of 

 the Dogger Bank). In the English Channel the fortnightly collection of surface 

 observations would be continued; further, surface observations would be taken 

 from lightships in the English and Irish Channels as well as in the North Sea. 

 Possibly current-measurements may be made in the English Channel from the 

 lightship "Varne". 



Scotland: The ordinary hydrographical cruises would be continued un- 

 altered, in the Fseroe-Shetland Channel, north of Scotland and in the North Sea. 

 Further, the currents in deep water would continue to be investigated by means 

 of bottom current-bottles. 



Ireland: The quarterly cruises would be continued, partly in the Irish 

 Sea, partly in the Atlantic Ocean south-west from Ireland; at the latter place also 

 some new stations would be introduced between the earlier lines investigated. 

 Further, surface observations would be continued at the lightship "Coningbeg". 



Norway: Extended cruises in the Norwegian Sea are projected for May of 

 each year. Further, hydrographical investigations would be carried out from July 

 1910 to July 1911 in the north-eastern part of the North Sea (Norwegian Channel) 

 in connection with herring investigations.
