Successive profiles from near shore toward the centre of the Gulf, at right angles to the last, show that the water was fresher along the western coast than off shore. In the profile (Fig. 49), from Cape Porpoise, across the northern end of Jeffrey's Ledge, to Station 10090, the salinity curves all dip toward the land; but in the eastern half of the profile (Stations 10089 to Station 10090), they are practically. Fig. 50.— Salinity profile from Station 10102, off the mouth of Penobscot g; Bay, across Jeffrey's Bank (Station 10091) to the centre of the Gulf of Maine (Station 10090). horizontal, i. e., the salinity in the upper fifty fathoms was uniform horizontally; though below that depth the off shore water (Station 10090) was "slightly saltest. The fact that the salinity was precisely the same () on the bottom in the sink where Station 10089 was located, as at seventy fathoms in the basin to the east of it, shows that its rim, which rises to a general level of about seventy-five fathoms, and is crowned by the much shallower Cashes Ledge, is an effective.
