After sailing at midnight on thefollowing day through a second streak of cold water, the shipcrossed the northern limit of the Agulhas Current between1 and 2 of the 19th December, at which time the surface-temperature was observed to rise to 2 2°.2 C. Towards noon ofthe same day, and at Station 143, distant about 150 nauticalmiles from the Cape, the thermometer recorded the maximumof C. It next fell to 2 2°.2 C, and, with the exceptionof a cold streak of C. observed in the course of the20th December, remained stationary until 2 on the 21st,between which hour and it fell from 2 2°.2 C. to
