slight concentration north of Cape Dyer. At first glance these num- 

 bers seem to indicate a tremendous amount of attrition as the icebergs 

 travel around Baffin Bay to Cape Dyer. Quantitative analysis of this 

 attrition awaits comparisons with future ice censuses. Reports of 

 pack ice and bergs off Greenland were scarce. To attempt to draw 

 a continuous picture of ice movements in Greenland waters was well 

 nigh impossible. Several reports received from the USS Edisto in 

 late February indicated that storis had not yet rounded Cape Fare- 

 well. One report of a berg in position 50°51' N., 41°00' W., on 16 

 November, was the only report during 1949 outside of the regular 

 ice-patrol season which showed that an iceberg had drifted to an 

 unusual j)osition. Otherwise reports throughout the season indicated 

 that the ice limits for this year approximated the average ice limits 

 for bergs and pack ice set forth in the Ice Atlas of the Northern 

 Hemisphere.
