Some of these observations from 1875 & 1876 were taken 

 nearly at the same place as those of the Yega-expedition in 



1878. 



It may be worth observing, that in 1875 as well as in 

 1878, whicli was by far the most favorable for navigation, the 

 colcl and salt water, represented by the iso-saline of 3 p. c, 

 was found at a greater distance from the siirface than in 1876, 

 the most unfavorable vear of the three.
