Figs. 504 and 505 show that just on the verge between the two seas, between Stations loi and 113, a marked drop occurs in the temperature and specific gravity.

A specific gravity of does not occur in the Atlantic at all at the depths here treated of, while the entire deep layer in the Norwegian Sea is of a specific gravity even higher than In the Atlantic the curves all fall away towards deep water and as we approach the tropics. In the Sargasso Sea we find the same specific gravity at 600 or 800 metres as occurs in the Norwegian Sea at 50 metres. The densely gathered curves at the surface denote water of low specific gravity.
