Excepting the salpse, the barnacles and the leptocephali, which also occur in the warm Atlantic, all these forms live in what may be Fig. 480.—DiSTRTBUTION OF Arachx called a transitional area between the Atlantic and the Nor- wegian Sea. The conditions of temperature in this bathymetrical region are shown in Figs. 159, p. 227, and 160, p. 228 (surface temperature for February and August), and In Fig. 312, p. 445 (temperature at 100 metres). Comparing these charts with the current chart in Chapter X., we obtain a good impression of the currents of the North Atlantic. The warm Gulf Stream, originating in the Gulf of Mexico, follows the east coast of the United States towards the Banks of Newfoundland, where it divides into several branches. A northern branch appears to run towards Davis Strait, partly as an undercurrent. An eastern branch runs towards the Azores and, spreading out like a fan,
