The Royal Society of Edinburgh being desirous of 

 determining the law of the daily progression of tem- 

 peratures, succeeded in establishing at Leith Fort an 

 hourly meteorological register, in which the thermo- 

 meter is observed every hour of the day and night. 

 This register has been kept during the years 1 824 and 

 1 825, and the results of it, which are very interesting, 

 will be found in the Transactions of the Society, vol. x. 

 part ii. or an abstract of them in Dr. Brewster's Jour- 

 nal of Science, No. VIII.
