Under the head Thermometer, in the first column, we have given the mean daily range of that instrument, that is, the mean difference between the maximum and minimum, and also the mean temperature of spring water from three monthly observations. This water is brought from a distance of some hundreds of yards in pipes, at the average depth of about three feet below the surface, and must therefore give nearly the mean temperature of the earth at that depth. The object of recording this temperature we shall endeavour to explain on some future occasion.-Under the head Barometer is given the mean daily range of the mercurial column, that is, the difference between the morning and evening observation is recorded as the range of the barometer during the day, and the difference between the evening and the morning of the next day, as the range during the night. The sum of these differences is then carried to another column, as the range of the barometer for the whole twenty-four hours. This of course is to be considered only as an approximation to the true barometrical range, as, without a self-registering instrument, the extremes cannot be exactly ascertained.-Under the Hygrometer is given the mean point of deposition both for the morning and evening; and in the following Report we have stated the results of the rat's-bladder hygrometer invented by Mr Wilson. These results, however, are given separately; because, from the delicate nature of the instrument, we cannot promise our readers a continuation of them, and we are unwilling, in case of such an accident, to derange the plan of the Report. In the second column are given the extremes corresponding to the additional means stated in the first, viz. the extreme range of the thermometer and barometer. The Report, in other respects, is the same as formerly.The month of January has been extremely variable, and at times very stormy. The |
