The most northerly place of observations during the voyage 

 was situated 16 miles WNA¥ of Ingo. Here the ocean water was 

 found (April 24th 1899) at the depth of about 30 m. It may 

 however be of interest to see the whole series of the observations.

From a section from the Breisund channel (between Hjelmso 

 and Havo) across Ingo to a spot situated 16 miles WNW of the 

 latter island, we obtained the following simple picture of the hydro- 

 graphical condition: Coast water of a very high salinity (34,5 — 

 35 7oo) was layered over the ocean water in the form of a wedge. 

 The point of the latter ends where the 35 per mille w^ater reaches 

 the surface. (See adjoined sketch). —
