As a further confirmation of this, we have the temperature of sections of the Gulf Stream taken off Jacksonville (Fig. 159), north and south of Cape Canaveral ^ I copy from Commander Bartlett's Report the cross-section taken by the " Blake " between Jupiter Inlet and Memory Rock : — " At anchorage near Memory Rock, in four fathoms water.
