Columns 53-61 LATITUDE AND LONGITUDE OF RECOVERY 
Enter degrees and whole minutes of latitude and longitude in 
Columns 53-56 and Deol. respectively. Enter N or Ss for northern or 
southern hemisphere, and E or W for eastern or western hemisphere, in 
the space provided following Columns 56 and 61, respectively. If the 
position is doubtful, estimate the latitude and/or longitude to the 
nearest 10 minutes; enter the tens digit in Columns 55 and/or 60, and 
leave Columns 56 and 61 blank. 
Column 62 WHERE RECOVERED 
Indicate where the bottle was recovered by entering the letter 
A for ashore, B for bottom, F for floating, or E when in an estuary. 
Columns 63-65 BEARING 
Enter the direction in degrees (measured clockwise from 000°) 
of a line drawn (on Mercator projection) from the release position 
to the recovery position. If, in the opinion of the originator, 
the route of the drift bottle was circuitous, enter the letters 
CIR in Columns 63-65. If the recovery position is in an estuary 
(E in Column 62), the bearing reported should represent the direction 
of a line drawn from the release position to the point of turning 
into the estuary.
