Discovery reports (1947) Discovery reports discoveryreports23inst Year: 1947 i84 DISCOVERY REPORTS New data may suggest a modification of the loop in 30° E, but some distortion of the convergence and isotherms here is probably normal. Deacon (1937, pp. 34 and 92, and plate xliv) refers to a steep ridge on the sea floor at this point, which may affect conditions at the surface. The slight northward bends shown about 140, 97, 75, 67 and 35° W and 110° E need confirmation, and the whole of the con- vergence between 110 and 160° W, and between 50 and 90° E is based on very little material.

Fig. 2. Positions of the convergence between 10° W and 80° W. Where two or more positions were ascertained within a short period they are joined by a continuous line if the convergence was well defined, and a pecked line if the positions were approxi- mate or uncertain. Single positions are indicated by a short line, continuous or pecked, drawn approximately parallel to the mean line of the convergence.
