fax, and on the edge of Emerald Bank, this warming was followed by a 

 slight cooling close to the bottom. But in the basin north of Le Have 

 Bank (Station 10235) the temperature rose continuously, from the 

 minimum layer down to the bottom, a type of curve similar to the 

 deep stations in the western and northern parts of the Gulf of Maine.

Temperature sections in the basins off southern Nova Scotia, Stations 10232, 

 10238, 10239, 10242, July-August, 1914. 



The minimum temperature at these deep stations was lowest between 

 Le Have and Roseway Banks (Station 10232, 2.8°); rising to about 

 5° in the basin off Halifax (Station 10239). 



Station 10233 (Fig. 5) on the continental slope south of Nova Scotia 

 is interesting because instead of showing the steady vertical cooling 

 which characterized the stations at the same relative position further
