The hydrography of Sofala Bank will be reviewed in a report to be published in the very near future (JORGE DA SILVA, in press). Therefore, the present report includes only the oceano-graphic observations with no attempt on analysing the data. Figs. 2 and 3 give the surface temperature and salinity respectively. Fig. 4 shows the water colour according to the Forel scale and Fig. 5 the Secchi depth. Three vertical temperature sections appear in Fig. 6. The location of these can be found in Fig. 1.
