Belgium. Les observations océanographiques et météorologiques, pour des 

 motifs divers, n'ont pu être reprises que récemment à bord du bateau-phare du 

 "West-Hinder."— 



Une nouvelle série d'expériences sur le cheminement des objets flottants 

 à la surface ou sous celle-ci a été entreprise. — 



Ses résultats s'ajouteront à ceux qui ont été obtenus avant la guerre. La 

 publication de ces résultats, avec des cartes mensuelles a été poussée activement 

 et ne tardera plus à être achevée. 



Denmark. Since the beginning of 1922 current-measurements have been 

 made every 4th hour at each 5 metres from the surface to the bottom at the light- 

 ship "Horns Rev". 



England. Arrangements were successfully completed for observations on 

 salinity, temperature and weather conditions to be taken daily at 8 a. m. as from 

 1st January 1922 at Smith's Knoll and Varne Light Vessels, and the work is being 

 carried on regularly. In the Channel the Seven Stones Light vessel continues to make 

 8 surface observations each month. 



Sweden. Surface-observations concerning the salinity and temperature of 

 the North Sea and the Atlantic have been executed in every month on board the 

 Swedish liners on their voyages from Gothenburg to New York. (See also Baltic 

 Committee). 



IL It is recommended that current-measurements shall be carried out in the 

 North Sea on 2 or 3 English lightvessels and on 1 Dutch lightship. These 

 measurements are to be made at least 3 times every day at least at 3 depths, 

 namely near the surface, near the bottom and at an intermediate depth, and 

 once a day series of these measurements are to be made at smaller depth-inter- 

 vals. 



England. A Jakobsen Meter has been installed on the Varne and Smith's 

 Knoll Light Vessels and full instruction given to the crew in its working. Observa- 

 tions were commenced on 1st January 1922 and are made three times daily at 

 8 a. m., 2 p. m. and 9 p. m. at intervals of 5 metres. 



III. It is recommended that Sweden shall undertake current-measurements 

 according to the same scheme at the "Fladen" in Cattegat. 



Sweden. See Baltic Committee. 



IV. It is recommended that monthly mean values of the hydrographical measure- 

 ments from all lightships in the North Sea, Cattegat and the Baltic shall be 

 published by the Bureau in the Bulletin Hydrographique. 



Denmark. Arrangements have been made for timely transmissions to the 

 Bureau of all data called for.
