after this, it increases downwards, 0° being probably about 150m. (the 
water is naturally also at 0° some distance higher up, viz; at abt. 100 m.); 
at 250m. the temperature is abt. 2°; at 380, at the mouth, 2.7°, while 
in the central portion, at 400—440 m. it is only 1.2°—2.0°, although 3° 
was recorded at several places from 225—500m. This fjord is thus 
less Atlantic in character than Bredefjord.

2. An Aretic Fjord. Northern Stromfjord. 
By way of comparison, we may take the figures for Northern Strom- 
fjord, as shown in Dr. Norpmawnn’s Journal. Unfortunately, the method 
of taking hydrographical observations at certain places from surface 
to bottom, as in the southern fjords, was not followed here; the measure- 
ments distinctly show, however, that the fjord is arctic in character. 
The temperature falls, by greatly varying degrees, to 0° at 50m. and 
thence to ~ 1.5° at 225—240 m. and 360—380m. Not all the measure- 
ments of temperature are probably correct, but it is at least certain 
that the temperature is negative everywhere at all depths below 60 m. 
or thereabout. The salinity increases downwards; 5 m.; abt. 32/99; at 
50 m. it appears to be abt. 32.2—33.3 °/9); the highest figure for salinity 
was noted at St. 35; 210—225 m.; 35.1 °/oo.
