Table 9. Except for the two northernmost stations all stations 

 appear to be within the Central Water I4ass. At the two northern 

 stations relatively fresh water at subsurface depths is similar to 

 the subsurface water in the Indo-Australian Basin and at inter- 

 mediate depths below the subsurface layer Arabian Sea influence is 

 evident from the higher salinity compared to the other stations.^ 

 Deep water in this section is similar to the deep water in the 

 central section.
