 109 Argentina. The mean temperatures, as in the case of the mean 

 pressures, when not the average of 24 hourly values, are 

 the means of observations made at 7'', 14^, and 21'' or 8'', 

 14*' and 20'' corrected to the mean of 24 hours. In no case 

 have the means of the daily maxima and minima corrected 

 to the mean of 24 hours been employed as stated in the 

 Notes. 



109 Ajo-General Lavalle. Rainfall ; the observations were taken 



at the " Estancia Los Yngleses " situated in the proximity 

 of the north promontory of Cape San Antonio, some six 

 miles from the seaboard of the Atlantic Ocean and also 

 on the fringe of the bay of Samborombon. A " Weather 

 Journal " consisting of readings of a barometer, thermom- 

 eter, hygrometer, and also non-instrumental phenomena 

 (winds, etc.) dates back to 1838. In 1857 there was added 

 a 6-inch float rain gage with a measure graduated to hun- 

 dredths of an inch. In 1884 this was exchanged for an 

 8-inch Negretti & Zambra gage with which the earlier one 

 was tested and found true. The rim of the rain gage is 

 9 m. (not 15) above sea level and 1.2 m. (4 ft.) above 

 ground. The record throughout has been kept by the 

 Gibson family, who acquired the property in 1825. 



1 10 Brazil. Mr. R. C. Mossman writes that " much of the Brazilian 



data which figure under his name were sent to him at 

 different dates between the years 191 1 and 1925 by Dr. 

 Morize or his successor, Dr. Sampaio Ferraz."
