We had thus reached the Great Bank of Newfoundland, and had accomplished our task of taking a section right across the Atlantic from the shores of Africa. During the transit we had occupied twenty-nine hydrographical stations, and twenty stations. 75 / fLEHlSH CAP RE A T ^ Fig. 94.—"Michael Sars" Stations 69 to 80. where we towed pelagic appliances, and had besides carried out many other investigations, so that we had every reason to be satisfied with the results of our venture. The coasi batik itself (Fig. 94) offered us a totally different Newfoundland field for study, which no doubt would have proved very interest- ^'''"^'' ing, but unfortunately our time was too short to attempt system- atic researches ; we had to steam for our coaling station, content- ing ourselves with one or two shallow stations on the way. Fig. 95 shows the hydrographical conditions from our last true oceanic station (69) to a station (74) just off St. John's. It is extraordinary what a sudden change there is from the warm salt oceanic water to the cold coast water. The curves of.
