COLORS OF TIE OCEAN.
German observations on Red and
yellow Tracts In the Sea.

UOndOn Mail)
OF late years the attention or savants
has been directed TO the investigation OF
"plancton," under which name the red
and yellow coloring of portions of the
surface of the ocean is known. All the
expeditions leaving German ports this
year have instructions to pay special at
tention TO the matter, and ordinary sea
captains are encouraged TO chronlcle all
particulars regarding any appearance OF
the phenomenon that may come under
their notice
In the German "Notes on Hydrography
and Maritime Meteorlogy," Herr II. Hal
termann, of the Naval Observatory at
Hamburg, recapitulates the present state
Of knowledge on the subject from mate
rial supplied by learned and unearaed
men.
According to these authorities, most OF
whom are officers of ships in some way
connected with the German Naval OBJ
servatory, the reddish coloring or the
ocean is of more frequent occurrence than
the yellow. Both cOlors occur most fre-
quently i'm the South Atlantic but always
at considerable distances from each other.
The yellow tracts are found principally
in the tropical and sub-trOpical western
parts Of the ocean, not far from land. The
red tracts, which are probably caused by
animals related TO the clio borealis" and
"Limacina arctica,' the food of whales,
in the arctic seas, are found in the south
ern ATTITUDES of the Atlantic, where the
influence is felt of the cold currents from
Gaze Horn.
1t is. however, somewhat remarkable
that no reference is made in any log TO
the appearance of red tracts in the seas
i'm the immediate neighborhood of Cape
Horn.
The yellow tracts are generally ascribed
by captains TO pollen or towering water
plants. while the red tracts are often de-
scribed as being caused by the presence
Of small animals, such as shrimps, flea
Holsters. &c
1t has also been noted that the red
tracts are usually accompanied by whales
and immense flocks of birds. which is
seldom the case with the yellow tracts.
Much is expected from this years scien-
tific maritime expeditions toward solving
the mystery OF the wonderful appearance
