Extract

The analyses reported here refer to water from International Hydrographic Station E I (lat. 50° 02′ N., long. 4° 22′ W.). They extend the sequence begun in 1923 when sufficiently sensitive chemical methods were first applied at this station (Atkins, 1923 a), and reported thereafter in a series of papers from this Laboratory (Atkins, 1923a, b, 1924, 1926a, b, 1928, 1930, 1953; Cooper, 1933a, b, 1937, 1938; Harvey, 1948, 1950; Armstrong, 1951; Armstrong & Harvey, 1950). This is a factual report and interpretation and comparison with earlier years are deferred.
