4 E. Loamis — Results derived from an examination of the 



to 99°, and on five days it rose as high as 95°. At Indianola 

 the highest temperature was 97 0- 5, and only twice did the ther- 

 mometer rise as high as 95°. At San Antonio the highest tem- 

 perature was 96°, and only once did the thermometer rise as high 

 as 95°. At Mobile the highest temperature was 95°, and these 

 are the highest temperatures reported at any of the southern 

 stations. We thus see that at Fort Sully and Denver the ther- 

 mometer rose higher than it did at any of the southern stations. 



If we consider simply the height of the thermometer above 

 the mean temperature of the month, we find that by far the 

 most remarkable cases occurred at stations north of latitude 40°. 

 The preceding table exhibits the observed changes of tempera- 

 ture from June 15 to June 26. Column second shows the mean 

 temperature of June at the stations named in column first, and 

 the succeeding columns show the difference between the mean 

 temperature of the month and the temperature observed each 

 day at 4 h 35 m P. M. At this hour the temperature at most of 

 the stations is about 8° above the mean temperature of the day, 

 so that nearly all the numbers given in this table should be 

 diminished by about 8° in order to show the elevation above 

 the mean temperature at the hour of observation ; and at a few 

 of the stations a still larger correction is required. 



In order to exhibit more clearly the conclusions to be de- 

 rived from the numbers in the preceding table I have prepared 

 the following summary, in which column second shows for each 

 day at what station the temperature rose most above the mean 

 for the month ; column third shows how much the thermometer 

 rose above the mean ; column fourth shows the state of the ba- 

 rometer at the given station, and column fifth shows the lowest 

 barometer observed on the given day at any of the stations.
