194 I. P. Koch. 
On рр. 171—172 I have mentioned that the vertical movement at X 
may have had a disturbing effect, and that 4z corresponding to X 
probably ought to have been considerably lower (cf. result of the 
observation at 8250); in the same place I have quoted the result of 
the kite-ascension. For comparison with the results of the levellings 
I shall here give the record of the temperature from the kite-ascension 
after WEGENER’s diagram in “Drachen- und Fesselballonaufstiege” 
p. 65. I draw attention to the peculiar angles in the curve between 
1000 m.

300 m and 600m. The position of this “foliated” stratification one 
should perhaps connect with the circumstance that the vertical 
movement at this very Cairn X is estimated at an intensity of 2 å 3 
whereas at the other objects it is zero. 
The tension in the state of the atmosphere, which was clearly ex- 
pressed in the levellings of October 21st, was broken through a rather 
inconsiderable Föhn, inaugurated during the ascension of the kite. 
Fig. 20 shows a sample of the frequently occurring cases of an 
oblique sea horizon, caused by the nearness of the land. The interval 
between the horizontal threads is nearly 2’.

Fig. 21 gives an example of a curvature in Horizon Ш. The 
curvature, the greatest depression of which was measured at 12”, is
