XXIII. Observations on the Junction of the Fresh Water of Rivers with the Salt Water of the Sea

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  17 January 2013

Extract

It is possible, that the following observations may contain little that is new to those who are familiarly acquainted with the details of the science of Hydrostatics. But as I have not met with any remarks on the subject, in the course of my limited reading, the experiments which were performed, and the conclusions to which they lead, are here submitted to the consideration of the Royal Society.
