Summary of meteorological observations in Ohio. 



Meterological observations obtained by the use of kites off the west coast 

 of Scotland, 1902, W. N. Shaw and W. H. Dines {Proc. Roy. Soc. [Lojidon], 72 

 [1903), No. 477, pp. 18-16). — A summary is given of the results of observations on 

 humidity and temperature made by means of 40 kite ascents during July and August, 

 1902, 2 from a small island in Crinan Bay, Argyllshire, the rest from the deck of a 

 small tug steaming in Jura Sound or neighboring sea. 



"Kites were raised on 71 occasions, but on 31 of them the force of the wind, even 

 when assisted by the speed of the tug at 7 knots, was not sufficient to raise the record- 

 ing instruments. On those occasions an experimental form of registering air ther- 

 mometer alone was carried. The average recorded height of ascents with instruments 

 was 5,900 ft. (1,940 meters), and average computed height of the 71 ascents 4,200 ft. 

 (1,400 meters); a height of 12,000 ft. (3,700 meters) was passed on two occasions, 

 and 15,000 ft. (4,500 meters) was reached once, but the record was lost owing to the
