Buzzards Lightship (fig. 9, table 9)-- January 

 and February surface temperatures were above 

 those of the three previous years, but March 

 and April warming lagged. The slight depres- 

 sion in mid-August also appeared at Woods 



Hole. December data were lost in transit. 

 Salinity during July and August was slightly 

 lower than those for 1956-59, but there is 

 little annual or year-to-year variation at this 

 station.
