  DENSITIES. 
  

  

  Specimens 
  of 
  the 
  bottom 
  water 
  taken 
  on 
  each 
  bed, 
  at 
  all 
  

   stages 
  of 
  the 
  tide, 
  have 
  been 
  tested 
  with 
  the 
  hydrometer 
  and 
  

   its 
  readings 
  reduced 
  to 
  a 
  standard 
  temperature 
  of 
  60 
  degrees 
  

   Fall. 
  These 
  results 
  show 
  a 
  maximum 
  density 
  of 
  the 
  waters 
  

   of 
  Tangier 
  Sound 
  of 
  1.0164, 
  which 
  was

  the 
  California 
  Rock, 
  at 
  half 
  flood 
  tide. 
  The 
  min- 
  

   imum 
  density 
  of 
  1.0111 
  was 
  found 
  in 
  the 
  upper 
  part 
  of 
  Fish- 
  

   ing

  three 
  quarter 
  ebb. 
  The 
  following 
  

   table 
  shows 
  the 
  maximum 
  and 
  minimum 
  density 
  on 
  each 
  bed, 
  

   with
