86 MR. J. BAXENDELL : INFLUENCE OF THE SEASONS UPON 



station^ Zlatouste^, 55° 8' N._, 59° 28' E.^ at an elevation of 

 1230 feet above the sea^ and the two most suitable stations 

 for comparison with it, Ufa, 54° 42' N., 55° 59' E., and 

 500 feet above sea-level, and Konrgan, 55° 20' N., 65° o' E., 

 and also about 500 feet above the level of the sea, we have 

 these results : — 



Winter. Summer.

Mean of Ufa and Kourgan ... 6*8 67-2 



Zlatouste 3*9 58'8 



2*9 84 



These numbers, like those we have obtained for places 

 in Central and Western Europe, show that the greatest 

 difference occurs in the summer months; and we may 

 therefore fairly conclude that the same law holds good 

 over the whole breadth of the Continent. 



All the stations at which meteorological observations 

 have been made in Northern Siberia, are too nearly on 

 the same level to afford data to enable us to pursue the 

 inquiry in that distant region, and I shall therefore now 

 pass to stations in India. 



Madras and Dodabetta. 



Difference of elevation =8600 feet. 



As the observations at Dodabetta were only taken twice 

 a day, I have taken the means for Madras at the same 

 hours. The comparison will therefore be, —
