1859,” was presented by the Secretary, with a letter from Mr. 
Brockway, dated September 6th, 1884, in which he says 
“ I would call the attention of whoever examines the table 
to the equability of the temperature and that the heavy earth- 
quake shocks did not materially vary it. Since Humboldt’s 
stay at the Hquator I think that no official observations have 
been taken,”
