“Tn this table, the high temperature on the 18th, 19th, 20th and 
21st, is very apparent. The Fohn prevailed during all these days. 
“On the 23rd August, which was a very warm day, I made a series 
of observations between Pontresina and the top of the Piz Languard, 
which is the highest peak on the ridge immediately behind Pontre- 
sina, and is very easily accessible. It had been raining heavily in the 
night, so that in the early morning the air was rather cool; but the 
following observations, made before starting up the mountain, will 
show how rapidly the temperature was beginning to rise. 
8.0 a.m., dry bulb, 10°°4; wet, 9°°2. 
9.10 ,, $3 14°°8;),, 119°4. 
100 ,, 5 17°°0. 
“At 10 a.m.I started up the mountain, following the excellent 
path which leads to the summit. 
“In Table XXVI. the temperatures observed at various stations 
are entered, along with corresponding ones observed in the porch of 
the Hotel Reseg at Pontresina.
