HYDROGRAPHIC OBSERVATIONS MADE IN THE 

 IRISH SEA DURING 1914. 



By Henry Bassett, D.Sc., 

 Professor of Chemistry, University College, Reading. 



The hydrographic observations in the eastern portion of 

 the Irish Sea which were begun in 1907 were continued during 

 1914, but owing to various circumstances they were very 

 incomplete during the past year. 



A certain amount of data has, however, been collected, 

 and it has been thought worth while to record it. Observations 

 were made during the months of February, April, May, June, 

 July, and September. 



Various causes had prevented hydrographic cruises being 

 made during January, March, and August, and at the end 

 of September the observation steamer was taken over by the 

 Admiralty. 



The 24 stations at which water samples were collected 

 were the same as during 1913 and are indicated on the chart 

 given in last year's Report on p. 191. 



February 3 to 7, 1914.
