ilETEOUOLOGIOAL OBSERVATIONS DUEING THE ECLIPSE. 



The meteorological observations made during the stay at Caroline Island have been discussed 

 in what precedes. It remains to speak of the special observations made at the time of the 

 eclipse, and to show what conclusioas may be derived from them. Observations of the barometer, 

 dry and wet bulb thermometers, maximum and minimum thermometers were made by myself as 

 opportunity offered during the progress of the eclipse. Observations of the conjugate thermome- 

 ters, Violle's conjugate bulbs, black and white bulbs in the sun, and of the direction and velocity 

 of the wind, were made by Seaman J. C. Harold every five minutes between 10.00 a. m. and 

 1.15 p. m.
