Abstract
DURING the course of a recent investigation of the current regime in the Suez Canal, an unusual distribution of salinity was observed along the Canal in September 1966. Comparison with older data from the Canal in September 1924, September 1933, September 1954 and September 1964 showed that a complete reversal of the current regime at that time of the year had taken place. The present communication gives a preliminary account of this phenomenon.
