Notes to j^reccding Record. 



^November, 1860. The five readings of the 7th, recorded by No. 7, and the five readings of the 

 12th, recorded by No. 4, as well as the reading by No. 3, on the 9th, were referred to No. 6 by 

 application of the corrections — 10°.3, — 11°. 7, and — 10°. 5, respectively. 



March, 1861. The readings by No. 3 were referred to No. 4 by applying the correction (with 

 sign reversed) as made out from the comparisons. 



April, 1861. All the readings preceding 2 P. M. on the oth, taken by thermometer No. 4, were 

 referred to No. 13. 



Daily Mean Temperature of the Air, in shade, observed at Port Foulhe. 



Twelve observations a clay, taken at equi-distant intervals, give so nearly the same 

 result as hourly observations (within less than d:0°.04) that no further correction is 

 required. The values of the daily mean temperature, given in the table, were 

 obtained by adding the correction for error of graduation to the daily means as set 

 out in the preceding record. 



* Occasional omissions in the record were supplied by interpolation before any means were taken. 

 As, this interpolation was made in the most simple manner, the interpolated values themselves need 

 not be shown. 



23 October, 1865.
