the reproduction of the oyster takes place, I proceed to their immediate 

 discussion. As 1 am not perfectly sure of the correctness of the mode 

 of taking these observations, and as some of them appear to be doubtful, 

 it has occurred to me that the mean temperatures for the months at each 

 station would be more useful as being more free from error than separate 

 results/" and I have accordingly reduced the observations and tabulated 

 them in the form herewith annexed. The southern and western stations 

 of Ireland, as forming a special climatal group, are placed together ; 

 then the northern and eastern ; next the southern and western stations 

 of Great Britain, and then the northern and eastern. The Jersey results 

 are grouped with the French in a separate table, and I give the latter 

 in degrees of the centigrade and Fahrenheit scales.
