Temperature Trips. 



The general arrangements and routine of the trips in the Clyde Sea Area made in the 

 " Medusa" have already been explained in Part II. p. 674 et seq., and the temperature 

 observations which form the basis of this part of the discussion were made simultaneously 

 with the collection of samples of water for the determination of salinity. 



Temperature observations were the more comprehensive in two ways. They were 

 made at a few additional stations, and they were continued at somewhat irregular 

 intervals for more than a year after the salinity observations had been stopped. With 

 the exception of the trips for August 1886 and August 1887, all the thermometer 

 readings up to September 1887 were made by myself personally. After that date they 

 were made by Dr Murray or his assistants. The serial observations off Garroch Head 

 intermediate between the regular trips were made by Mr Ttjrbyne. 



The following list gives the number of separate temperature soundings made at each 

 station, the date of the first and last observation, and, where the data have not been 

 already given in Part II., the position at which observations were made. In addition, 

 surface-temperature was frequently observed at special points, particulars of which will 

 be given in their proper place. The occasional observations made before 1886 are not 

 taken into account here.
