7. The temperature and salinity of the intermediate and deep waters 

 of the Labrador Sea in 1957 have been examined and compared with 

 averages for the groups of occupations during 1934-41 and 1948-57. 

 The 1957 observations showed the intermediate water to have a salinity 

 below any of the prior occupations and a temperature near the previous 

 cold limit, and the deep water to be near average at 2,000, 2,500 and 

 3,000 meters, and near the cold- and low-salinity limits at 3,500 meters.
