Labrador Current itself. The smaller proportion of the total vol- 

 ume of the Labrador Current, as reiterated, is frigid in character, the 

 major quantities being none other than an extension of the West 

 Greenland Current around the periphery of the Labrador Sea. 



The GodthcuiVs observations in the American sector (Conseil 

 Permanent International, 1929) support the general distribution of 

 temperature and salinity described above. The net volume of the 

 Labrador Current, according to the GodthaaVs observations, was 

 computed as 3.5 million cubic meters per second off Resolution Island 

 and 5.9 million cubic meters per second off Cape Harrigan. This 

 corresponds with previously recorded figures of the U. S. Coast 

 Guard of 4.6 and 4.1 million cubic meters per second off Resolution
