Extract

New values for the extinction coefficient of red light in distilled water require that published results for this coefficient in waters from the Tamar Estuary shall be increased by o.1, 1.3 and 2.0 at 610, 720 and 750 mμ respectively. Earlier deductions as to the favourable transmission of red light in turbid estuarine waters apply only up to about 680 mμ. That part of the extinction coefficient due to suspensoids and colouring matter was inversely proportional to the first power of the wave-length. Other conclusions remain unaffected.
