A note from the Investigator

For Process 4 Station 25 (S6), casts 01 and 03 (event no's 08051242 and 08051535) have been removed due to bad data. These samples were collected in 30 mL vials and analyzed on-shore after the cruise unlike all of the rest of the samples for this leg which were collected in 100 mL bottles and analyzed at sea. We suspect that the teflon cap liners leaked during storage and transport contaminating the samples.
