The most interesting observations are those from the 27th
& 28th July 1879. The section XII on plate 26 represents the
constitution of the sea a few miles south of Behring strait.
In Mr. Bove’s description of the Vega-expedition the reader
will find a diagram representing the temperatures at different
depths in this strait. They seem to hear out that a current of
warm water from the Pacific flows into the Siberian Sea, along
the American coast, while a cold current of arctic water passes
in the contrary direction along the Asiatic side of the strait.
The above table as well as section XII shows, that the
temperature of the water is much higher at the American side,
but neither the temperature nor the saltness of the water at
the Asiatic side seems to warrant the conclusion, that it
should belong to a cohl stream from the arctic ocean. The
sea-currents on both sides of the Behring strait are far from
sufficiently explored yet, and the Vega-expedition could do
very little to this purpose. Previous observations made by
