The surface salinity at the other stations of the section from Smith Island to Brabant Island is very similar to that of the rest of the strait, except at the stations close to Trinity Peninsula which show the influence of dense Weddell Sea water. Dilution by melting ice in the spring has not yet taken place farther to the south-west in sufficient amount to cause surface salinities of less than 33-80 °/00 to appear at this end of the strait, and more- over this minimum value is only found at St. WS 488 close to Brabant Island.
