134 THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF CANADA 



Very many thanks are due to Dr. L. V. King for his invitation 

 to the writer to work at Father Point, and for making the arrange- 

 ments which made these incidental tests possible, while the main 

 work of the party was being performed. It is a pleasure, also, to 

 record indebtedness to Mr. J. Patterson for the opportunity to acquire 

 experience in the use of meteorological instruments, and to thank 

 Lieut. E. Bièler for his kind assistance. 



The writer regrets that owing to the limited amount of space 

 available this year, it has been necessary to omit the main details 

 and discussion of the observations, and to present the results in this 

 abstracted form.
