This tendency counteracts the deflecting force of the earth's rotation, and finally causes the surface-layers to extend towards the west, becoming less thick in proportion. Fig. 188 shows the conditions along the same section in August 1903, when we repeated the investigations. The coast- water now lay much farther from the land than in May, reaching only to a depth of
