Abstract
AFTER a visit last year to the Bermuda Biological Station, I directed attention in a semi-popular article to the unique opportunities at this lonely Atlantic island for oceanographic research, and suggested that continuous local investigation of the deep water around the island would be likely to hasten a solution of the “Atlantic Water “problem, which has such important bearings on European fishery and other questions (Discovery, December 1935). This opinion has been considerably strengthened by the subsequent study of various hydrographic reports, and especially by a collation of the published data recorded by various research vessels in the immediate neighbourhood of the island.
