sunrise in the one case, and of January and October in the others, 

 the result for these times is always lowest. 



Most of the computations have been made by means of Oltmann's 

 tables, as drawn up by Lieutenant- Colonel Boileau, and printed at 

 the Magnetic Observatory, Simla; very many were worked / also by 

 BesselTs tables in ^Taylor's " Scientific Memoirs," which, however, 

 I found to give rather too high a result on the averages ; and I 

 have therefore rejected most of them, except in cases of great ele- 

 vation and of remarkable humidity or dryness, when the mean 

 saturation point is an element that should not be disregarded 

 in the computation. To these the letter B is prefixed. By far 

 the majority of these elevations are not capable of verification 

 within a few feet ; many of them being of villages, which 

 occupy several hundred feet of a hill slope : in such cases the 

 introduction of the refinement of the humidity correction was not 

 Avorth the while.
