But in the middle of the profile (Station 10102) there is a pronounced 
spreading of the curves between ten and ‘fifty fathoms, which, however, 
is limited to the mid-depths; it is probably an evidence of local dis- 
turbances. A profile (Fig. 25) running parallel to the coast (Stations 
10104-10102) connecting the preceding two, shows that the 42° water 
can hardly have extended beyond the northern end of Jeffrey’s Ledge,

while water colder than 40° (p. 178) was confined to the deeper part: 
of the trough. A profile (Fig. 26) running off shore from the neigh: 
borhood of Matinicus Island to the centre of the Gulf shows thai 
the bottom water was distinctly warmer on Jeffrey’s Bank (Sta. 
tion 10091) than in the centre of the Gulf (Station 10090). And :
