It will thus be seen that there is a fairly even distribution along the 

 coast, although locally, of course, some regions will be found much richer 

 than others. 



Species of the north may run into well-marked varieties in the south, 

 and vice versa. Also northern species of the shallow waters may be found 

 only in deeper waters to the southward. Two well-marked barriers pre- 

 sent themselves along the coast, viz., Cape Cod and Cape Hatteras. iNTorth 

 of Cape Cod the fauna is typically northern, while south of Cape Hatteras 

 it is tropical. Less than 20 species from south of Hatteras range from 

 south of Cape Hatteras to Cape Cod. 



Charts indicating the distribution of temperatures at the surface in 

 summer and winter and at 100 meters, a current chart and numerous 

 species of Bryozoa were shown by means of the lantern. 



The Section then adjourned.
