Abstract
    The results of a hydrological survey made in an area lying to the north-east of New Zealand are presented and analysed. A total of 33 serial temperature-salinity stations was occupied to a maximum depth of 2500 m and the survey, conducted in February-March 1968, was the sixth of a series carried out in the ocean around New Zealand in consecutive summers. Geostrophic flow in the area is discussed and the effect of wind stress upon this flow is considered. Sound velocities are calculated from the observed data and velocity corrections for echo sounding machines are derived for the area surveyed.
