above formula was applied to the surface and bottom salinity averages given in 

 Tables XIX. and XX. For the sake of convenience the results were translated into 

 percentages of pure sea water at each point, on the assumption that the mixture of sea 

 and river water takes place without change of volume. This is not quite the case, as 

 experiments made with the hydrometer gave evidence of a slight contraction, too little, 

 however, to appreciably modify the results. Pure sea water is taken as having a density 

 of 1*02600, and the proportions corresponding to each density are given in Table XXVIII.
