The sea west of Spitsbergen; the oceanographic observations of the Isachsen Spitsbergen Expedition in 1910 . had evidentlyremained unaltered in the upper bulb since thetesting on board, but it is difficult to tell when 900 1000. the drop at first appeared. The observations seem to give considerably lower values than might be expected at some of the stations; this is partly indicated by the difference between the temperatures found by the insulated water-bottle and those found by the reversing thermometer in lower depths. It is therefore very probable that the small drop of mercury in the upper bulb has varied in size, and has at times been considerably larger than it was found to be after the return of the expedition. This has probably been the case during the first period of the expedition, at Stats, i —14 in June, 1910 (Sections I, II, and III). Fig. 2 shows the vertical temperature curves of Stats. 3 and 6(Section 11, of Stats. 23 and 25 (Section IV), and of Stat. 20 (Section VI,cfr. the chart, Fig. 1).
