Extract

Temperatures and salinity, phosphate, total phosphorus and silicate analyses of water from the International Hydrographic Station E1 during 1955 are discussed. The seasonal variation is shown, and it appears that consumption of nutrients by plants in the spring was: phosphate 0·42 μg atom P/L, ‘total phosphorus’ 0·40 μg atom P/l., silicate 2·43 μg atom Si/1., these being means for the whole water column. Some irregularities are pointed out; they are probably attributable to changes in the water mass.
