and of the late great Heats in June 1826. 243 



Observations made at the Doune, Inverness-shire, by J. P. 

 Grant, Esq. of Rothiemurchus. 



The following observations were made in Aberdeenshire by 

 George Fairholme, Esq. On the 14th, at 11 p. m. the ther- 

 mometer stood at -f- 6° at Castle Forbes, which is situated at 

 a considerable elevation above the river Don, and overlooking 

 the valley of Alford. At the above hour Mr Fairholme ob- 

 served this valley covered with a dense fog; and supposing 

 that the temperature would be much lower near the level of the 

 river, he sent a thermometer down to the manse of Keig, where 

 it stood at 5° below zero at 7 o'clock on the morning of the 

 15th. In a few hours afterwards, a change of wind occasioned a 

 rapid thaw, which continued for some time. 



I shall now simply state my own very careful observations 

 made on the late uncommon heats in June in the country. 



June 24th, 9 m. 72^° at a N. window, 3 floors from the ground, and per- 

 fectly open, with a large thermometer of Adie's, jo of a degree easily visi- 

 ble.
