This daily record should begin on the breaking up of the fiord's winter 

 ice and the release of the bergs normally in July, and would cease with 

 the freeze-in of the fiord in December. The service should be stand- 

 ardized for the seven stations and continued for a test period of at 

 least 3 years. Variations in size of bergs, irregular drift, visibility, 

 etc., would be expected handicaps to an accurate count, but it is felt 

 these would not invalidate the record. Any remarks of interest 

 regarding the dates of the iceberg season, the effects of weather, the 

 rate of drift, etc., would be interesting.
