The curves ofboth Hjorts stationsindicate in all depthsmuch lower temperaturesthan the curves of Stats. 3and 4 of September 7th,1910. Fig. 23 shows a simi-lar difference between thecurves of Hjorts Stats. 62and 63 of September 5th, 1900, and thecurves of Isachsens Stats. 1 and 2 of June25th, 1910, although the latter observa-tions were taken 72 days earlier in theseason.
