The only one of our stations directly comparable with the above is Station 10112, over the sixty fathom curve south of Marthas Vineyard, August 22, where the temperature was ° at sixty fathoms, i. e., nearly 10° warmer than in 1882. The deep waters of the Gulf of Maine were likewise unusually cold in 1882 (p. 244), and the remarkable mortality of fish which took place in the spring of that year has usually been accounted for by the abnormally low temperature (p. 266). The only records available for the next year (1883) are a few scat- tered observations by the Albatross (Townsend, 1901), unfortunately all outside the 100 fathom curve. They show that the temperature south of Marthas Vineyard was 48° at 131 fathoms in May, and 49° at 117 fathoms in September. In September, 1884, the Albatross took a series of bottom temperatures south of Nantucket, extending from the eighteen fathom curve out to the continental slope, with the following results: Bottom temperatures, south of Nantucket, September 26-28, 1884- thorns Temperature Fathoms Temperature 18 ° 58 ° 25 ° 78 ° 38 ° 98 ° 43 ° 122 ° 46 ° This series was taken a month later in the season than our 1913 sta- tions, which perhaps explains the high temperatures on the inner part of the shelf in 1884. And the fact that our one Station (10112) at the end of August was considerably warmer th
