“The same consequence also results sho the following readings 
made upon the scale, viz: D', 73°2; 73°6; corona line, 118°5; 
The force of this last sentence is not very evident, since, if we 
take Kirchoff’s numbers for the D’s and b’s [1002°8, 1006- 8, 1634: Ay 
1648°8 and 1654°7], we find, on performing the interpolation, that 
118°5 of Lorenzoni’s scale comes out correspondent with 1478°3 
Kirchoff, instead of 1463, Since the probable error of a reading 
is stated by Prof. Lorenzoni, in a note dated March, egy to be. 
four divisions of Kirchofi’s scale, ~ agreement with Young’s 
result would seem to sien as close as could be desired. We should 
have noticed this point so nai arly were it not evident, 
from the note referred +6: that the Italian observers, after having 
their attention specially called to the s subject, were still disposed 
to prefer their own result to that which is generally accepted.
