derived all the curves show a somewhat pronounced rise with 

 respect to these parts. 



The curves for No. 10 and 13 are open to the right, and 

 seem to indicate that these samples contain a great deal of 

 still coarser ingredients, which the sounding tube has not been 

 able to take up. As mentioned above too many conclusions 

 must not be based on the shape of the curves for the coarsest 

 grains, as it depends on mere chance if more or less pebbles 

 are got at the same time, and even a single one may produce 

 a great difference in the appearance of the curve. It must 

 thus certainly be mere accident that No. 10 has no ingredients 

 over 16°i™, as the shape of the curve seems to indicate a rather 

 considerable number of these ingredients. 



With regard to the finer ingredients, there is a very 

 great resemblance between No. 10 and 13, as both these 

 samples contain a comparatively large quantity of clay-substance. 

 No. 11 on the contrary bears a greater resemblance to No. 9, 

 as the greater part of its finest ingredients are between V32 

 and ^ki^^. It will hardly be possible to find the cause 

 of this. 



Samples No. 14 — 19, the deposits of which form a con- 

 nected series outside the bay between Кар Hold with Hope 

 and Кар Parry, are of quite a different type from the preceding 

 ones. As will be seen by the curves they are all comparatively 

 fine, as only a few percentages of the ingredients or sometimes 

 none at all are found to be over V2™™. The change is very 

 sudden, as the distance between No- 13 and 14 is not much 

 more than about 13 kilom., and the difference between the 

 constitution of these samples is, as will be seen by the curves, 

 very marked. 



It is impossible to imagine that the greater distance from 

 shore can be of any importance in this matter, as the differ- 

 ence between the samples is not very great in this respect; 

 neither can the difference in the number of icebergs aft'ecting
