computed at 0.40, while that part of the former between station 3980 

 and 3984 is computed as 1.70. This would leave, by difference, about 

 0.8 million cubic meters per second of the Baffin Land Current be- 

 tween stations 3984 and the beach. 



If it is assumed that there was no significant net contribution to the 

 Labrador Sea through Hudson Strait, the difference in volumes of 

 flow past the Loks Land and South Wolf Island sections indicates 

 about 2.2 million cubic meters per second of the circulation of the 

 Labrador Sea passing the latter section was located toward the 

 center of the Labrador Sea from station 3956.

Figure 25. — Salinity distribution along a section extending from the deep water of 

 southern Baffin Bay to the vicinitv of the Xugssuak Peninsula, Greenland, 19-20 

 July 1949. 



The observations taken along the section ending off the Xugssuak 

 Peninsula at the northern end of the Yaigat are contradictory. The 

 deepest station taken north of Davis Strait ridge and the only one 

 in Baffin Bay extending to a depth of 1,500 meters was station 3990.
