* This result is very curious, and at issue with the ordinary laws according to which 
water becomes ice. The experiments in Baffin’s Bay, and that of Greenland, offer a 
singular contrast with the results obtained by Captain Scoresby, between Greenland and 
Spitzbergen. Here in every instance, at 100 to 200 fathoms, the temperature was 
found to exceed that of the surface by several degrees. Franklin states the same. 
1 f Several experiments.
