MAY 1933 (FIG. 9) 



It is estimated that 162 different bergs were south of latitude 48° 

 during May. Most of this ice was concentrated along the north- 

 western slope of the Newfoundland Banks between longitude 50° 

 and 53° W. However, scattered bergs were inside the 50-fathom 

 curve west of longitude 49° and as far south as latitude 45°30' N. No 

 bergs followed the normal path down the eastern slope of the New- 

 foundland Banks. The westernmost ice was a berg in 46°37' N., 

 53°54' W. The pack ice receded north of latitude 48° during the 

 month.
