The contour of Stellwagen Ledge is shown by the heavy broken curve. 1915 (Bigelow, 1917a), was hardly appreciable in 1916. During the interval July 22-August 29, the mid-layers off northern Cape Cod warmed by about l°-2° (Stations 10344,10398, Fig. 5); even then, how- ever, the temperature did not equal that of 1912 on the same date (Station 10043, August 29) or of 1913 three weeks earlier (Station 10086, August 5). The Grampus did not visit the eastern side of the Gulf in July, 1916, but observations taken in the Bay of Fundy under the auspices of the Biological Board of Canada, summarized below in a letter from Dr. A. G. Huntsman, show that these waters were also unusually cold during that summer:.
