Relative topography: 100 m., February 1929. influence of the Weddell Sea water on the current in the surface is shown by the northerly component of the dynamic isobaths towards King George Island. This influence is shown to occur somewhat farther into the strait and to stretch over a larger area across the strait than in November of the same year. A circular movement in an anticyclonic direction has been drawn round St. WS 386, which is in agreement with the very light water found in the upper layers at this station. Figs. 60 and 61 show the relative topography at 50 and 100 m. The
