Pl. XIX viser Temperaturens Fordeling 1 300 Fay- 
nes Dyb. Vestenfor Island støder endnu 5° til Banken. 
I Sydost for Island findes 79 og paa Sydvestsiden of Wy- 
ville-Thomson-Ryggen 5° til 9°.. I Færø-Shetland-Rendens 
sydligste Del have vi et Temperatur-Maximum paa over 59, 
omgivet paa Nord- og Sydsiden af koldere Vand. Langs 
Norges Kystbanker optræde lignende Maxima paa over 59 
udenfor Romsdalskysten (63° N. Br.) og udenfor Røst 
(6795 N. Br.). Varme Tunger strække sig mod Vest 
mellem Lofoten og Jan Mayen og mod Nord langs Banken 
udenfor Vest-Spidsbergen (1° ved 80° N. Br.). Koldere 
Vand ved Banken sees under 7°—8° E. Lgd., 6605 N. Br. 
og Vest for Beeren-Eiland, udenfor hvilket der er et Maxi- 
mum paa 2°. Strax nordenfor dette sees den kolde Straale 
fra Spidsbergens Storfjord. Østhavets Bund ligger højere 
end 300 Favne. 
De kolde Tunger fra Gronlandshavet gjenfindes. Nul- 
grads Tungen fra Jan Mayen-Renden udstrækker sit Om- 
raade helt til den nordvestre Side af Færø-Shetland-Renden 
og henimod Nordsøbanken (625 N. Br.) og de norske 
Kystbanker (8°—4° E. Led.). 
Under 699 N. Br., udenfor Vesteraalen, ligger en 
Tunge'med over 4°, der, som anført, fortsættes mod Vest. 
Tsothermen for 3° rækker, under 70° N. Br., helt Vest til 
1° W. Lgd. Isothermen for 2° udskyder, som Fortsættelse, 
en Tunge mod Syd, parallel med den iskolde Tunge i 
Jan Mayen-Renden. Vestsiden af Jan Mayen-Banken har 
endnu Varmegrader. 
Pl. XX viser Temperaturens Fordeling i 400 Favnes 
Dyb. Nordhavet er i dette Dyb ganske adskilt fra Atlan- 
terhavet. I dette sidste findes 7°—8° opunder Islands- 
banken og Wyville-Thomson-Ryggen. Paa den anden Side 
af denne sees i Midten af Færø-Shetland-Renden en liden 
Tunge med Varmegrader, ellers er hele Renden og Havet 
nordenfor til ce. 61° N. Br. fyldt med iskoldt Vand. En- 
kelte Steder optræder under Banken endog — 1°. 
Det er, i dette Dyb, paa højere Bredder, at man 
har Varmegradernes Region. Fra et Maximum paa over 
3°, der ligger klos udenfor Vesteraalen, skyde sig Varme- 
tunger med Vest og mod Nord. De første bøje østenfor 
Jan Mayen mod Syd og, som det synes, mod Sydost, cul- 
minerende i et Maximum paa 196 i Station 96. Lidt 
længere Nord have vi en Tunge mod Syd i Retning af det 
Parti, hvor Banken løber tvers paa Meridianen (Snit 89 FE. 
Pl. XX VI). Fra Vesteraalen af forfølge vi Varmetunger 
nordover udenfor Beeren-Eilands og Vestspidsbergens Ban- 
ker, med koldere Vand inde ved Banken, lige til 09 ved 
80° Bredde. Strax Nord for 75° N. Br. spores den iskolde 
Tunge fra Storfjorden. De kolde Tunger fra Grønlands-

Pl. XIX shows the distribution of temperature at a 
depth of 300 fms. West of Iceland, 5° is still found close to 
the bank. South-east of Iceland, we have 7°, and on the 
south-west side of the Wyville-Thomson Ridge 8°—9°, In 
the most southerly part of the Færoe-Shetland Channel, 
there is a temperature-maximum of more than 59, sur- 
rounded on the north and south by colder water. Along 
the Norwegian coastal banks occur similar maxima, reach- 
ing more than 5°, viz., off the Romsdal coast (lat. 63° N) and 
off Røst (lat. 67°.5 N). Warm isothermal tongues extend 
westward between Lofoten and Jan Mayen, and north- 
ward along the bank off West Spitzbergen (1° in lat. 80° 
N). Colder water is met with on the bank in long 7° to 
8° EF, lat. 66°.5 N, and west of Beeren Hiland, off which 
occurs a maximum of 2°. Immediately to the north of 
this maximum, flows the cold stream from Spitzbergen’s 
Storfjord. The bottom of the Barents Sea lies higher 
than 300 fathoms. 
The cold isothermal tongues sent off from the Greenland 
Sea are again met with. The zero-tongue from the Jan- 
Mayen Channel extends its limits to the north-western 
side of the Færoe-Shetland Channel, and almost as far as 
the North-Sea Bank (lat. 62°.5 N) and the Norway coastal 
banks (long. 3°—4° EF). 
In lat. 69° N, off Vesteraalen, lies an isothermal tongue, 
with upwards of 4° of heat, which, as previously stated, extends 
farther towards the west. The isotherm for 3° reaches, in lat. 
70°, as far as long. 1° W. The isotherm for 2° sends off, in 
continuation, a tongue southward, parallel to the ice-cold 
tongue in the Jan-Mayen Channel. The western slope of 
the Jan-Mayen Bank still exhibits a temperature above 0°. 
Pl. XX shows the distribution of temperature at a 
depth of 400 fathoms. At this depth, the North Ocean is 
entirely cut off from the Atlantic. The latter has 7°—8° 
in close proximity to the Leeland Bank and the Wyville- 
Thomson Ridge. On the opposite side of the latter, a 
small isothermal tongue, with a temperature a little above 
09 occurs in the middle of the Færoe-Shetland Channel, 
but with this exception the whole channel and the sea with- 
out to well-nigh lat. 61° N, is filled with ice-cold water. 
In a few places, we have off the bank even — 1°. 
It is throughout this deep, in higher latitudes, that 
the region temperatures above 09% is met with. 
From a maximum of more than 3°, lying close off Vester- 
aalen, the isothermal tongues of heat strike out west and 
north. The former bend off east of Jan Mayen towards 
the south, and also, it would seem, towards the south-east, 
culminating in a maximum of 196, at Station 96. Some- 
what farther north, there isa tongue stretching southward, 
in the direction of the tract where the bank extends per- 
SP 1D, JPL XOX WD), 
From Vesteraalen, we can trace isothermal tongues of 
heat northwards, off the Beeren-Eiland and the West- 
Spitzbergen Banks, with colder water in immediate proximity

pendicular to the meridian (Section
