Abstract
The variation in the K+/Na+ and Ca++/Na+ ratios in highly diluted sea waters near the heads of two British Columbia inlets has been determined flame photometrically. Although the values agree in general with those calculated from the effect of dilution, discrepancies larger than the analytical error appear. These discrepancies may be explained by cation exchange processes taking place where the silt suspended in the river meets the sea.
