OBSERVED DISTRIBUTION OF TEMPERATURE AND SALINITY 159 defined by a sudden increase in both temperature and salinity (from 18-36° C, 35-01 %0 to 20-18° C, 35-20 %0). The bathythermograph observations north of WS 996 show that the Orange river line of stations lay along the southern boundary of an extensive wedge of cool water, WS 955 marking its most westerly limit. To the north of this, typical oceanic temperatures were present at WS 994 and 993 but cooler water was again encountered at WS 992

The contouring of the isotherms shows these high surface- temperatures (WS 994, 993) as a tongue of oceanic water converging with the coast, and the strong temperature gradients on either side of it suggest that it was sharply discontinuous with the sur- CAPE FRIO 20°H 140 MO WE POINT 25-.
