Proposals for the reform of the Bulletin 
by 
MARTIN KNUDSEN 
Taking for granted, that hydrographical investigations will be carried out 
between the seasonal cruises in future, and that these cruises will be replaced 
partly by more frequent observations at places, which may vary between rather 
large limits, I beg to propose that the Bulletin be reformed accordingly in the fol 
lowing manner: 
The numbers to be published quarterly as hitherto; the results of the pere 
dical as well as those of the unperiodical observations to be given. 
All the observations made in deep water to be given in the form of tables 
and in part also collected in a graphic way in “sections”. Whenever a sufficient 
series of observations has been made at one and the same place at short inter- 
vals of time, a graphic representation of the hydrographical changes to be after- 
wards constructed and reproduced on tables. These tables may be published f. inst. 
once a year in the Bulletin. Observations in deep water made from lightships and 
lighthouses will be published in the Bulletin in the same way, if only the salinity 
has been determined by the titrimetrical method. 
All the surface observations (regarding temperature, salinity and currents) 
will be published in the Bulletin im extenso either in tables or in charts, if only 
the salinity has been determined by the titrimetrical method. To show how the carto- 
graphic publication might be prepared, two charts for the North Sea and one for 
the Atlantic Ocean have been prepared. In case the cartographic publication is 
preferred it will be necessary to consider, how those observations, which do not enter 
into the chosen scheme, might be published. It is also recommended for considera-. 
tion, whether the present surface charts of the Bulletin shall be continued unmodified.
