Abstract
IN a former article (January 24, 1901, p. 311) we gave a summary, from a pamphlet recently issued, on the currents in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, in which we noticed some point of general application to similar researches elsewhere. This pamphlet, issued by the Department of Marine and Fisheries, Canada, gives concisely the results of investigations in the summer seasons of three years in that Gulf, conducted by Mr. W. Bell Dawson, in charge of the Survey of Tides and Currents. It is primarily for the benefit of practical seamen; but it also contains an explanation of the hydrography of the Gulf, on which this Survey has thrown considerable light; and it is this part that we now summarise.
