In cloudy weather there is little difference In the tempe- 

 rature at different heights ; in clear weather the lowest 

 station is coldest at night, and hottest by day. When the 

 heat is below 40° there is liltle difference in the day time. 

 !n general the difference is 1° or 2', sometimes 4° at night. 

 The ground is sometimes 1° or 2° colder than the air a few 

 feet above it, and was found even 1 0° colder than the highest 

 station. 



In a well at Dover, 360 feet deep, with 21 feet of water, 

 the water was 56" at the surface, 52° in the middle, 48|" at 

 the bottom, in September. At Sheerncss in a well with 

 ISOfeet of water, wholly below the level of the sea, the ther- 

 mometer was 51° in the middle, 56° at the bottom: but 

 perhaps the pressure of six atmospheres disturbed the ther- 

 mometer a little.
