HYDROGRAPHICAL SECTION — JULY 1905 ( 98 ) 
Prof. Krümmen would also gladly see the observations carried out oftener 
than once every three months and sHoposet that the present ideas be formulated 
into distinct resolutions. 
Prof. Nansen also agreed with the proposal and recommended that the rapid 
variations of e. g. supposed submarine waves be studied in a more thorough way 
by a series of observations continued over several days at a suitable place. 
Prof. Hommn seconded the proposal of Prof. Nansen and said that the Finnish 
investigators had also observed such submarine waves. 
Dr. Knıpowirsch was also inclined to have more numerous observations; it 
would be specially important for the biological investigations to learn the annual 
variation of the temperature at the bottom. 
The further deliberation of this point was adjourned. 
At the request of the President Docent Knupsen presented a report on the 
meeting of the Assistants. The main object of this meeting was, that the men 
working at the same problems should become personally acquainted, and at the 
same time have an opportunity to develop their ideas on hydrographical questions 
and to discuss them with their colleagues. From these discussions a series of 
resolutions had resulted which might perhaps be of use for the present delibera- 
tions. (Procés-Verbaux de la Réunion des assistants hydrographiques. Copenhague, 
18—23 Juillet, 1904.) Appendix A. 
With regard to Point D (investigations during the intervals be- 
tween the quarterly cruises) of this Appendix, it was decided to discuss 
it together with the further proposals regarding the same matter. 
Coming to C (observations in certain areas which have not 
hitherto been investigated) Mr. Knupsen said that Ireland had carried out 
hydrographical researches in the Atlantic Ocean and that these investigations now 
follow the international scheme. The results had been communicated personally 
to him and he had inserted them in the Bulletin in the hope, that the hydro- 
graphers would agree to his doing so. (General assent.) 
It was decided to formulate a resolution expressing thanks to the director 
of the Irish investigations (Resolution I). 
Dr. Repexe informed the meeting that Holland intended to form three new 
stations: 
H 4A 55°10’ Lat. N. 1°10’ Long. E. 
HAB 55°10) — 0°20' — W. 
H 4G 54995 — 0°%40' — E. 
With regard to the Gotland Deep Profs. Homen, Krümmer and Prrryrsson 
agreed to make a private arrangement.
