It is evident from an examiuation of the values in the last column tbat observations were 

 often made when the instruments had not recovered from the effect of passing clouds. This is 

 especially true on April 29, which is here given as an illustration of the eflect of frequent clouds 

 upon the indications of the instruments. This sluggishness seems to be greater than that of the 

 conjugate thermometers. Further remarks on this point are given below iu the section devoted 

 to a comparison of the results of the different computations.
