BIGELOW: COAST WATER EXPLORATION OF 1913. 175 
At the one Station in Massachusetts Bay (Station 10106, Fig. 16) 
the upper part of the temperature curve agreed almost exactly with 
the water off Cape Ann, (Station 10087) and near Platt’s Bank (Sta- 
tion 10089), cooling from 61° at the surface to 48.5° at fifteen fathoms. 
But at thirty-five fathoms (bottom) it was 2° warmer (44.1°) than 
either of these. 
All the temperatures described so far for the Gulf were taken in 
August, during a week’s period: and hence directly comparable

with one another. But three Stations, one off Cape Cod (Station 
10057, Fig. 16) at the same location as Station 10086, one over the 
southern part of the basin (Station 10058, Fig. 3), the third on George’s 
Bank (Station 10059, Fig. 3), were made a monthearlier. The surface 
temperature of the first (61°) is exactly the same as it was at the same 
locality in August (Station 10086); but below the surface the July 
section is colder at all depths, the greatest difference being on the
