 April and 27 May, seven of these required double Nanaen casts, A total 

 of 210 bathythermograph obserrations was obtained, and approximately 

 192 salinity sait?)les were returned to the Hydrographic Office for 

 analysis. Twenty-two bottom samples were secured with a Dietz-LsiFond 

 bottom samplers Since only one Hydrographic Office representative was 

 aboard, oxygen analyses and current measurements were omitted« The 

 spring phase of the sea-ice photography project was not carried out, 

 owing to limited visibility and low ceilings whenever the reconnaissance 

 planes were in the area.
