Xll. 5040 1-50 2-S The very close agreement between nutrient salt content of the water and estimated quantities of plant pigments is also clearly shown by this table. It would not be so good over a longer period when the effect of the biological uptake would be masked by regeneration or replacement in varying degrees, but it seems to me that if our Harvey estimations do not reflect the real quantity of phytoplankton production fairly closely, the high degree of correlation with chemical data obtained quite independently by our hydrologists at the critical period would be utterly Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Institute of Oceanographic Sciences (Great Britain); National Institute of Oceanography of Great B
