N. B. The observations were made in an apartment 12 feet square. One ther- 

 mometer hung in the centre, 7 feet from the floor ; the other, at the end of a shelf, 

 some inches from the wall, and quite protected from reflected heat.— The room has 

 a door facing the east, and a small window to the north, both left open*. 



* The march of the Barometer seems so sluggish that we fear the observer neg- 

 lected to tap the tube previous to reading off — an indispensable precaution with 

 ordinary instruments. — Ed.
