The variations of temperature too are all much less in amount, as are 

 those of the state of the atmosphere as to moisture, though the climate 

 is rather damper. 



On the subject of terrestrial radiation the paucity of the observation 

 precludes my dwelling. Between 9 p.m. and sunrise the following 

 morning I found the earth to have lost but 6°. 5. of heat, whereas a 

 mean of 9 observations at the same hours in the valley below indicates a 

 loss of 12°. 



There is as little similarity between the climate of the Kymaons and 

 upper Bengal hills, as between their geology or outline, though so near
