107. Amongst all these the coincidence of Temperatures at corresponding 

 Depths is extraordinarily close ; the chief differences show themselves, 

 as might be expected, in Surface-temperature. This was peculiarly high 

 in the most Southerly stations, which lay between Lat. 47° and 49° 51', 

 rising to 62°-6 at Station 42, to 64°'8 at Station 38, to 65°'6 at Station
