Abstract
DR. STANLEY KEMP and the scientific staff of the R.R.S. Discovery have been good enough to provide us with water samples which have rendered it possible to obtain information, long considered desirable, as to how far the depths of the oceans act as reservoirs of salts necessary for plant growth. The samples also enable a comparison to be made between the concentration gradient found in these and in more southerly latitudes, between Lisbon and the Canary Isles.
