Monday, September 24. — Mr Buch and Dr Bronchurst accompanied 

 the expedition on a visit to the oyster nursery at Tysnosoen (Station 

 XXXI.). From Tysnosoen the 'Jackal' proceeded through Hardanger 

 Fiord, and through Hangesund to Hore Varde anchorage, in Karm Sund, 

 where Mr Buch and Dr Bronchurst left. 



Tuesday, September 25. — In the early morning, the 'Jackal ' left Karm 

 Sund, and proceeded along the coast on her way to Copenhagen, observa- 

 tions being made off Ekero and the Naze (Stations XXXIII. and 

 XXXIV.). 



Wednesday, September 26, — The Skagerack having been crossed 

 during the night, observations were made in the Cattegat between the 

 Little and Great Middle Ground and in the Sound off Trekroner, where we 

 anchored for the night, not having permission to enter the harbour at 

 Copenhagen. Next morning we were allowed to proceed, anchoring 

 ultimately just outside the inner harbour. 



Monday, October 1. — In the morning the 'Jackal' proceeded through 

 the Sound towards Kiel. Observations were made in the Sound near 

 Drogden Lightship, one of the Danish observing stations. The light- 

 ship was visited by Mr F. M. Gibson, and the instruments and records of 

 observations inspected. During these two days I was not on board, 

 having remained behind in Copenhagen in order to prosecute my in- 

 quiries, which were not completed, leaving, however, on Monday night, via 

 Korsor for Kiel, where I arrived early on the 2nd of October. I was 

 therefore able, through the British Consul, to have the necessary arrange- 

 ments made for the berthing of the ' Jackal.' The ' Jackal ' arrived at 

 Kiel about 5.30 p.m. the same afternoon. Mr F. M. Gibson left on 

 October 5 th, his place being taken by Mr Andrew King. 



Saturday, October 6. — The 'Jackal' left Kiel for Granton, where 

 she arrived on the afternoon of the 9th. A successful series of observations 

 were made at Stations XLII., XLIIL, and XLIV. during the passage 

 across the North Sea, from the Skaw to May Island.
