At the station in thePacific, a surface-stratum, the temperature of which falls from28°.8 C to 280 C. at 30 fathoms, and to 260 C. at 80 fathoms, isunited by a steep gradient to an intermediate stratum, whichextends from 150 fathoms (n°.3 C.) to 800 fathoms (30 C), thebottom-stratum commencing at 900 fathoms with a temperatureof C. How soon the cold bottom-stratum is reached inthe equatorial belt is one of the unexpected discoveries due torecent deep-sea exploration. In the warm seas which bathe theBritish Islands, a temperature of 40 C. is not registered until wearrive at a depth of 900 fathoms, and at 1500 fathoms thetemperature is still 2°.5 C. CHAPTER III.
