260 ECLIPSE OF THE SUN, APRIL 25, 1865. 
markable was noticed. The meteorological observations offered the same 
anomalies which have been remarked in 1858 ; that is, the minimum of tempera- 
ture did not correspond with the maximum of the eclipse. The temperature 
began to ascend immediately after the commencement of the phenomenon, and 
then sank until the latter was at its height, when it stopped at 24.3° centigrade. 
Before the eclipse the same thermometer marked 24.7°. Thesame thing occurred 
with the barometer, which commenced ascending at the beginning of the eclipse, 
and did not decline till 9%. 4m., reaching its minimum at the point of greatest 
obscuration. Having remarked nothing striking as to other meteorological phe- 
nomena, I limit myself to these simple indications.
