 similar to the curves for Stockholm and partly opposite to them. 

 The February curves show for the time after 1890 quite good agree- 

 ment. On the whole the two monthly curves for Batavia agree 

 with one another a good deal better than the corresponding curves 

 for Stockholm.

 houses, Torrungen, Utsire, Heliso, and Ona for January, April, July, October,

THE TEMPERATURE VARIATIONS IN THE DIFFERENT SEASONS IN THE 

 COAST WATER OF NORWAY 



In figure 82 we give the three-yearly consecutively smoothed 

 temperature curves for the four lighthouse stations, Torungen, 

 Utsire, Heliso, and Ona on the Norwegian coast for January, April, 

 July, and October, and for the whole year. At the bottom of the 

 figure we give the sun spot curve with increasing scale numbers 

 upwards and the temperature curve for April for the four stations 

 after combining by two-year and three-year smoothing. We see 

 that the curves for four months and the whole year are in good 

 agreement up to the year 1890. But after this time the curves for
