Abstract
THE accompanying chart of the mean salinity of the surface of the North Sea has been constructed from the international observations made during the years 1903–7. A similar chart has been constructed by Mr. Martin Knudsen (dealing with a somewhat shorter period), and our two charts, independently prepared, agree with and confirm one another in a very close way.
