Mouriar, R.D.N., gave same interesting information of the results of enelition on board the schoones Ingolf to the Hong, coast of Greenland during the summer of last year. It was thus discovered that the theory at Professor Mohn, socording to which the Sea-cold bottom water over phases the heights which at the bottom of the sea, strołok from the Faroe Islands, to the costs of fooland. is quite correos, a result of great solentitio importance. Captain Mouriar spoke in the bigboat terms of the patant apparatus for taking William Thomson, soundings invented by Bir and considered that no ship enght to proceed to sea without it. The investigations of the east coast of Groenland were greatly hampered by constant logs. The bottom of the ice-cold Polari water was invariably soft mud.
