Table XIV. First Comparison of Egg and Frame Hygrometers under Hens. 



Not yet reconciled to such a great difference, we selected another hen 

 for a more extended and exhaustive test. To begin with, the dry ther- 

 mometers were placed toward the body. The wet ones outward from it. 

 They were later interchanged, and lastly the "egg,^ which had been 

 on the left side, was changed to the right, and the "frame" vice versa. 



The difference ranged from 14.6 to 17.9, and averaged 15.9- The 

 readings complete are given in Table No. XV. :
