tion, repeated at some future time in exactly the sane place. 

 Adequate data such as these are not as yet available. The only 

 repeated anchor station the investigators could find in all lit- 

 erature was that taken in the Florida Straits by two U. S. Navy 

 Hydrographic Office Survey ships, the SAN PABLO and the REHOBOTH, 

 on the L|-th and 9th of December 1950. The deficiencies of these 

 data were many, and they will be discussed later. However, since 

 these were the only data available, it was decided to employ them, 

 more as an instrument for developing a technique than as an hon- 

 est test of the method. 



The data for I4. December were analyzed according to Pjeld- 

 stad's method and the values for the Fourier coefficients are 

 presented in table VIII, By numerical integration the relative 

 amplitudes, w, were computed for the Ij^. December data at 5 chosen 

 depths. These values are given in table IX, The data for 9 

 December were analyzed in the same manner and the relative amp- 

 litudes are presented in table X,
