〈list xml:id="l1" style="custom"〉1The subject of study is the variation of salinity at seven particular stations within each month over a number of years. The observations were taken three times per week at fixed hours of the day.2Daily anomalies for the years 1935 and 1936 have standard deviations which range from 0.515‰, for Liverpool Bar L.V. to 0.089‰ for Chicken Rock Lighthouse. For Liverpool Bar and Morecambe Bay the variations in winter are greater than the variations in summer, and for Morecambe Bay this effect is very pronounced. But no such definite seasonal effect appears to exist half-way between Holyhead and Kish L.V.3Reasons are given for expecting, at particular places in the Irish Sea, tidal oscillations in the salinity of the surface waters whose semi-ranges are of the order of 0.4‰ in Liverpool Bay and 0.03‰ half-way between Holyhead and Dublin.4A process for the isolation of tidal effects only reveals definite tidal oscillations for Liverpool Bar and Morecambe Bay. The semi-ranges of these oscillations are of the orders of 0.3‰ and 0.1‰ respectively. Indefinite results are obtained for the seasonal effect in the tidal oscillations, but the total number of observations is not sufficient for such a determination.5When the tidal oscillations for Liverpool Bar and Morecambe Bay are subtracted from the daily anomalies, the residual variations have standard deviations of 0.470‰ and 0.381‰ respectively.
