of the 1958 survey work. During the first survey the warm water 

 found in the surveyed area was not as warm as usual but it was 

 found over a greater geographical extent than usual. The coldest 

 water of the Labrador Current was about a degree warmer than 

 usual but cold water extended to greater depths than usual. Salini- 

 ties at intermediate depths down to at least 1,000 meters were 

 fresher than usual. Yet the resulting density distribution produced 

 a Labrador Current which, as seen from figure 19, was rather 

 broad at the northern end of the surveyed area and narrowed 

 with increasing velocity toward the Tail of the Banks.
