358 ACCOUNT OF THE ARCTIC REGIONS. 



rectioiis, to reduce them to one parallel, and the 

 comparison of the reduced mean temperatures with 

 those derived by calculation from a formula which 

 follows *, are contained in the following Table. 



Having now discovered by observation, chiefly, the 

 mean temperature of the months of April, May, 

 June and July, and the probable mean temperature 

 of the year, in the icy regions adjoining Spitzbcr- 

 gen, I conceive it not difficult to calculate, on very 

 reasonable data, the temperature of the remaining 

 months, in which no observations have yet been 

 made. I shall still proceed on the basis of the 

 Stockholm register, as being one of the most com- 

 plete and minute registers that I have yet met with, 

 besides having the advantage of referring to a high- 

 er latitude f than any British register.
