phosphorus Hne seems to show a correspondence with the distortions of 

 the density pattern. 



Figure 34 shows a more compHcated pattern with higher phosphorus 

 concentrations and in the intermediate water a split maximum with 

 values in excess of 1.5iJLga/L. As in figure 33 the phosphorus concen- 

 tration decreases toward the bottom. In figures 35 and 36 the south- 

 ern corner of the triangle is seen to be in a phosphorus maximum, 

 while figure 36 shows a slight maximum at intermediate depths at 

 about station 5735 and another farther inshore at station 5738. 



When individual station curves were drawn with total phosphorus 

 concentration plotted against potential density, those in the Labrador
