The mean of the numbers in the first column is 29-561 inches, and it re- 

 presents that pnrtion of the reading of the barometer due to the pressure of 

 air; the remaining portiim, or that due to the pressure of water, is 0-322 

 inches: the aura of those two numbers is 29-874 inches, and it represents 



Quarterly Meteorological Table for different Parallels of Latitude. 



the mean reading of the barometer for the quarter ending June 30, 1850. — 

 By taking the mean of the numbers in the preceding Talile for those places 

 situated between different parallels of latitude, the following Table was 

 foriued. 



The highest readin({ of the thermometer in air was 87° at Uckfield and 

 Nottingham ; and the lowest readings were 25° at Uckfield, and 26° at 

 ^^ iikefield. The extreme range of temperature during the quarter, in Eng. 

 land, was therefore about GO^ 



The least daily ranges of temperature took place at Guernsey, Liverpool, 

 anil North Shield.s — their mean value was 10-4"; and the greatest occurred 

 at Uckfield, Aylesbury, and llartwcll, and their mean value was 21 3j. 



riie least monthly langcs of ti-m|icraliire occurred ;it (Iiieinsey, Torquay, 

 and Liverpool— their mean value was 2j-i"; the greatest took place at Uck- 



field, Aylesbury, and Nottingham — their mean value was 45-8°. 



Kain fell on the least number of days, at Uelston, Holkham, and Norwich 

 — the average number at these place.- was 33. It fell on the greatest num- 

 ber of days at North Shields, Wakefield, and Derby — the average number at 

 these places was 56. The places at which the largest falls took place were 

 Southampton, Stonyhurst, and lilxeter; the aveiage amount at the6e places 

 was 9'5 inches. The smallest falls occurred at llartwell, Holkham, and 

 Liverpool, and their average was 4 inebcs.
