TEMPERATUKE OF ENGLAND. 



II. — ^Mean Tempebatubb of the Earth and of the Air at Chiswiok, lat. 51° 

 OH the AVEBAQB of 10 YEARS, 1844 — 1853. 



From the above it appears that, in the first three months of the year, 

 the thermometer at the depth of two feet indicates a somewhat higher 

 temperature than that at one foot deep. The latter, from April till 

 August, is higher than the one at two feet. But from September till the 

 end of the year, or in fact till April, the ground at two feet deep is wanner 

 than at one foot. Agaia, it will be seen that in AprU, May, June, and 

 July, the earth at one and two feet deep is on the average nearly a degree 

 colder than the air ; but iu aU the pther months it is warmer.
