Extract

Scandinavia has been for a number of years past the centre of interest in hydrographic inquiries. The waters of the Baltic, Skagerack, and Cattegat, have been thoroughly investigated by Swedish men of science; the complicated currents of those seas and their periodic alterations have been determined and explained; and a relation has been found to exist between the movements of herring and mackerel and the periodic changes in the character of the water which bathes the Swedish shores. The brilliant results attained by the Swedish hydrographers have been fully described by Prof. Otto Pettersson in the tenth volume of the Scottish Geographical Magazine (1894), and a critical summary of these results is included in Cunningham's paper on the “Physical and Biological Conditions of the North Sea,” published in this journal last year. (Vol. iv., 1896, p. 233.)
