METEOROLOGICAL OBSERVATIONS AT CARNWATH. 



at the same height, and with the same slope, exposure, soil, sub- 

 soil, and state of natural drainage, was a plot so densely shaded 

 by the trees that all direct solar and terrestrial radiation was 

 completely obstructed. Here the second thermometer box was 

 placed, the distance between the two stations being only 30 yards. 

 At both stations the underground thermometers were placed in 

 situations and positions exactly similar to each other. 



The observations, which involved a long walk over rough ground, 

 were made twice a day by Mr Fotheringham, under the well-directed 

 superintendence of Mr Hector M'Lean, W.S., and Mr Currie. 



The observations for the year ending 31st October 1877, 

 embrace two sets, the first set being a continuation of the 

 previous observations at Gallowhill outside the wood, and at 

 "Winterlaw inside the wood from October to February, the results 

 of which are given in Table I. The second set embraces the 

 observations made under the new arrangements, beginning with 

 March, the results of which are given in Table II.

 Reports. '
