Figure 16.— Current map made from a group of stations occupied during June, 1929. The S-figure 

 numbers near stations show in dynamic millimeters the distance in excess of 728 dynamic meters 

 from sea surface to 750-decibar pressure level. It appears from this map that two bands of cur- 

 rent setting northeastward existed southeast of the Banks with an almost currentless area 

 between them. Such slack waters do exist in fact off the Banks at times and bergs getting into 

 them may remain almost stationary for several days
