cially interesting because while it runs almost horizontal at about 
fifty fathoms from Station 10090 to and across Jeffrey’s Bank, it must 
then dip to bottom in about seventy fathoms, the bottom salinity at 
Station 10102 being only 33.17%o, suggesting a shoreward movement 
of salt bottom water across the Bank. 
The next profile (Fig. 51) is parallel to the last, some 30 miles further 
east (Station 10099, 10100, 10092). Here the slope ofgthe bottom is
