on northeasterly. With a view to promote their being readily 
icked up at sea, 1 would propose that flasks of white glas 
lown with broad bases, should be used. ‘These could be seen 
at a distance, and in a region so crowded with sails as the Gulf 
of Florida, very many would be picked up while still afloat, 
thus giving a true measure of mean velocity. A small saili 
vessel, such as one of the Key West pilot boats, or the revenue 
cutter at that station, might, by having a good observer put 
aboard, make such a course of observations with slight a 
tle campaign. The superficial study, ought certainly not to 
be td eferred; after this, we can take a next step mor 
wisely.
