AUGUST-SEPTEMBER 



Except for two bergs stranded off Baccalieu Island on 4 August, no 

 bergs were reported during August or September south of the 50th 

 parallel. North of that line the relatively high sea surface tempera- 

 tures which prevail during that part of the year took a heavy toll of 

 the many bergs which were present in the area during July. Although 

 the area was not completely scouted, it may be roughly estimated that 

 by the end of September hardly a dozen bergs remained of the 92 

 bergs found in July south of latitude 53°30' N. 



OCTOBER-DECEMBER 



The only ice reported in the Newfoundland area during the period 

 October-December was a berg sighted on 8 December in 51°28' N., 

 51°38'W. 



During the first part of December three reports were received of 

 bergs well to the south and east of Cape Farewell, Greenland, as fol- 

 lows: on 1 December, a berg in 56°38' N., 42°42' W.; on 8 December, 

 two bergs in 55°56' N., 41°47' W., and 55°38' N., 39°10' W., respec- 

 tively.
