so that the temperature curves for the two dates recall those off Mount Desert for 

 May 10 and June 14, 1915, in their mutual relationship. A similar seasonal rela- 

 tionship also obtains between serials taken in the Fundy Deep near by on March 22, 

 1920 (station 20079), and June 10, 1915 (station 10282).

In 1917 the surface temperature had risen only to 8.68° at the Prince station by 

 July 4 (Mavor, 1923, p. 375) ; the 50-meter level to 5.06°, the 100-meter level to 

 4.5°, and the 150-meter level to 4.21°; but warming either took place more rapidly 

 in the Bay of Fundy in 1904, or the temperature did not fall so low there during the 

 preceding winter, because Dawson (1922, p. 82, station F) found the deeper strata of 

 the Fundy Deep about 2° warmer than this a week earlier in the season, as follows :
