The oceanographic observations made during the cruise of the Farmin the summer of 1910 are especially valuable for the stud) of the Spits-bergen Atlantic Current. It was chiefly with this aim in view that theplan of the oceanographic work of the Farm was laid, when Capt. Isachsendiscussed it with the writers beforehand. It was thought to be of muchinterest to have this but little known continuation of the Norwegian At-lantic Current thoroughly investigated. Our knowledge of the Spitsbergen Atlantic Current had hi
