Is there any trace of the Arequipa variation on the consecutive curves of Arctic stations? 2). How far do the pleionian variations of the Xorth American conti- nent extend over oceanic areas ? 3). Is there a system of Atlantic variations independent of those of Europe and North America? 4). What are the connections between the continental variations and those observed in the Arctic regions ? 5). D

Do the Arctic ice conditions influence the variations of annual temperatures observed on continental areas?. Fig. 58.—Temperature variations in Newfoundland and Maine The curves on Fig. 57 give an answer to the first of these questions. Two types are distinguishable: the west Greenland type, best represented by the curve of Jacobshavn, and the Icelandic, or let us say Grrimsey type. Angmagsalik, on the east coast of Greenland, belongs to the Icelandic type and the curve of Ivigtut is transitional, since it is similar to the curve of Jacobshavn until 1905 and very much more like the curve of Angmagsalik after 1905 or 1906. If we compare the curves of Jacobshavn and Grimsey with the Are- quipa curve we must admit some similarities which are too well pro- nounced to be ascribed to a simple chance circumstance.
