Wrangel and by American officers bear out the fact, that the
current in this strait and in the adjacent parts of the Siberian
Sea changes its direction with the seasons. Dr. Stuxberg[1]
asserts that, according to the statement of the aborigines, the
water in autumn and winter flows from the arctic sea into
the Pacific, in spring and summer in the contrary direction.
The observations of the Vega-expedition, made on the 27th &
28th July, do not contradict this rule. The temperature and
saltness of the water at the Asiatic coast can very well belong
to a current of Pacific water flowing northward, whereof the
warmer branch takes its way along the eastern coast of the
Behring strait.
