32 MADEIRA METEOROLOGIC. PART in. 



weather Madeira's sunshine spectrum is inordinately full 

 of water -vapour stopped lines, the sun's direct rays, 

 though to general observation luminous enough, are sig- 

 nally deprived of their proper scorching heat, and the 

 temperature range of the climate is immensely reduced 

 for both the day and the year ; while there are still a few 

 other, but rarer, consequences, also well worthy of close 

 attention.
