I should at once remark to these figures that they cannot be directly compared with 

 the average temperatures at coastal stations given on p. 115, as the observations were 

 made further out to sea than the latter, namely from vessels, and will therefore probably 

 be higher than the temperatures of the same date at the coastal stations (cf. what has 

 been said on p. 116). If we wish to compare them with the temperatures for other waters 

 given in this paper, it must be with those observed by the research- steamers (cf. the temp- 

 eratures. Table p. 116, those on the charts figs. 5—8, and those for the Fœroe Bank, Ire- 

 land and the Channel as given on pp. 125, 126 and 132).

In addition to these numbers for the most northern part of the region I may give 

 the following observations, which are for both the northern and southern parts and which 

 were made from the Danish research-steamer "Thor" in the beginning of May 1906 by 

 the hydrographer Cand. mag. I. N. Nielsen; the observations at the English station given 

 above in Table B are also repeated for May.

' The numbers have been kindly given me by Cand. mag. I. N. Nielsen. They were found by inter- 

 polation fi'om the temperature curves of the Deutsche Seewarte; Atlantischer Ozean, Taf. 5 — 8, Hamburg 

 1902, which curves are based on numerous observations. 



" The observations were made at 140 meters.
