months before being sent out for filling. It has been possible to obtain samples 
from 12 of the 14 places originally proposed, namely: 
1. The Baltic, upper layer of 3—4°/oo Salinity. 
2. The Baltic, bottom layer of ca. 6 %oo Salinity. 
3a. Skager Rak St.S.8, 60 m. depth. 
3b. Skager Rak St.S. 8, 620 m. depth 
4, Norwegian Sea, East side, 1000 m. depth. 
6. Norwegian Sea, Gulf-Stream water from 100 m.S > 35.2 0/00. 
8. East-Greenland Current, surface water of S < 33 °/oo. 
9. North Atlantic south of Rockall 2000 m. depth. 
10. Atlantic Ocean between Portugal and the Azores, surface water. 
11. Atlantic Ocean between Portugal and the Azores, 3000 m. depth (temp. 2°.6). 
19a. Mediterranean, surface water. 
12b. Mediterranean, 1500 m. depth. 
The C. L. has to acknowledge the assistance of the leaders of the Finnish, 
Swedish, Norwegian and Danish quarterly cruises, as well as of the captain of the 
Royal Danish trade-steamer “Hans Egede” and of S.A.S. the Prince of Monaco, 
in collecting these samples. 
For the distribution of the samples to various laboratories as arranged by 
the Council, green glass-bottles of two liters were ordered and treated with warm 
water in the same way as the six-liter bottles. The water-samples will be 
sent out in these bottles, closed by india-rubber stoppers. It has been found by 
special tests in the C.L. that the india-rubber stoppers do not affect the amount 
of SO, in the water.
