At the beginning of the eclipse, the wind was blowing fresh 

 from W.N.W., and continued so until 47t.-45m., from which 

 time it gradually decreased till, at the annularity and afterwards, 

 it was almost calm. 



The thermometers (dry and wet bulb) were mercurial by 

 Negretti No. 42 : they were attached to the N.E. end of the 

 platform in perfect shade, the bulb about three feet above the 

 tread of the banquette, which is gravelled, but shaded by the 

 parapet. 



The solar-radiation thermometer was a Kew Standard (No. 63), 

 with its bulb coated with lamp-black : it was suspended in the 

 entrance of a sentry-box facing South, the box being painted a 

 dark leaden colour, and forming a good position. 



The thermometer for terrestrial-radiation was also a Kew 

 Standard (No. 64), protected from the sun's direct rays, and 

 also by a concave of tin from the radiation of the ground, but 

 the exposure of this instrument was imperfect, and the results 

 are not to be depended on.
