Meteorological Register. 151 
It is remarked that although these observations may not 
be, in every instance, accurate, they are probably sufficient- 
ly so for the purpose of general abstracts— “for, the mean of 
each month being deduced from 90, and of each year from 
1095 observations, occasional errors would not materially af- 
fect the result.” 
** In order to ascertain the means for the several years, as 
given in the last table, the extreme stations are taken, and as 
many intermediate ones at the north and south respectively, 
tude 38° 13/, and the average mean temperature is 56° 62', 
esides the general table, with which we shall conclude 
this article, Dr. Lovell has given another, shewing the com- 
parative temperatures of places in Europe and America, in 
nearly the same latitude, by which it appears that the temper- 
ature is higher in Europe, especially in the higher latitudes.
