COUNCIL — APRIL 1912 — APPENDIX C — 60 — 



Docent Knudsen then read the protocol of the sittings of the Hydrographical 

 Section. 



The protocol was passed. 



A discussion then commenced as to the rules for stating direction of 

 current. It was agreed for the future, that this should be stated as the direction 

 in which the current flows, "northerly current" will thus mean, a current going 

 north. A resolution to this effect (No. 8) was passed. — A notice of the alteration 

 is to be printed in large type in the next Bulletin. 



van Everdingen suggested that it would be an advantage if a standard 

 current gauge could be constructed, by which other instruments could be 

 regulated; the meeting agreed with him in this. 



van Everdingen thanked Docent Knudsen most heartily, on behalf of the 

 Section, for his careful management of the business. 



The meeting closed at 11.15 a. m.
