It will be seen that on the whole the positions of maximum apparent 

 Inequality for sun-spots are near those for Toronto temperature-ranges. 

 While this likeness cannot be considered as conclusively proving a 

 connexion, it is nevertheless the sort of similarity which might be 

 expected to exist between phenomena physically connected, but con- 

 taining so many apparent Inequalities, and these so near together that 

 our series of observations is not sufficiently extensive to enable us to 

 eliminate their influence upon each other, or to allow us to ascertain 

 their true positions.

 TT=Toronto Temperature-range, KT= Kew Temperature-range).* 



16. Constancy of Type in the various Inequalities. It will be 

 from Table III that as a rule the sun-spot Inequalities contain 01 

 maximum and one minimum in 24 days, and that as a rule the Kei 

 temperature-range Inequalities contain likewise one maximum an<3 

 one minimum,t while, however, the Toronto temperature-range In- 



* The numbers in this table represent the aggregate Inequalities for 36 years i 

 the sun-spot and Toronto temperature-range, and for 24 years in the Kew tern 

 ture-range, after dividing by 100. Thus the SS Inequality for 48 is in 

 9386, while the TT and KT are 2744 and 6060. 



t At any rate the Kew Inequalities much more nearly represent a single than 

 a double oscillation.
