A STUDY OF CORRELATIONS AMONG TERRESTRIAL TEMPERATURES. 



most part computed all the series of observations I could find which extended through 

 as long a time as a single spot-period. Each station is generally treated separately ; 

 but in a few instances I have combined the results of neighboring stations into a single 

 mean. I forego any detailed description of the various methods by which the mate- 

 rial, even when accurate, had to be treated in order to obtain the best annual means, 

 presumably referred to a uniform standard. The more important sources are those 

 already cited. 



The following table shows the observed annual deviations formed from m}^ own 

 work. But in addition to these I have included observations, often fragmentary, 

 made at British colonial stations, and published in the British meteorological reports :
