Temperature. 



The following results of thermometrical observations made at 

 Whitby, by Mr. Belcher, are extracted from manuscripts contain- 

 ing much other information, for the use of which I am indebted to 

 that gentleman. 



Temperature of the air at Whitby, taken daily at 9 A.M., in the four critical 

 months, January, April, July, and October, from 1825 to 1829. 



The general mean of the year seems to be about 47'5. 



The month of July 1852, though fine and warm, was not on the 

 average marked by so high a temperature as the same month in 1826. 

 Mr. Cholmeley has recorded at Brandsby the following comparative 

 results (see p. 147) : 



Mean maximum of 

 temperature.

On the 24th of July, 1826, and on the 3rd of August, 1852, corn
