In this communication the authors give the results of the observations they had made during their voyage, relative to the temperature and specific gravity of the sea-water, both near the surface and at depths ranging from about 18 to 30 metres, the latter being nearly the greatest depth which the motion of the vessel permitted them to reach. They reserve for a future report their observations on the temperature and moisture of the air, as well as the results of two experiments on the quantity of carbonic acid contained in the air on the Mediterranean and Red Seas.
