The surface circulation on the Scotian Shelf has been investigated by means of 827 drift bottles released by the Naval Research Establishment in August, 1954. The study suggests a cyclonic circulation centred in the vicinity of Sable Island Bank but with the eastern part incompletely determined by the results. Calculated speed of drift varies from 0.11 to 0.15 knot.
