The work to be reviewed comprises 900 temperature soundings, or not less than 6000 

 separate thermometer readings, taken at about 75 stations during a little more than three 

 years. In that time 23 separate temperature trips were made, in each of which the 

 whole Area was gone over with some approach to completeness, and there were several 

 occasional observations between these trips. Vertical temperature sections for sixteen 

 of these trips from the Channel to Cuill are given in Plates VIII. to XL 



Trip I., April 1886 (See Part II. pp. 677-678).— The early months of 1886 

 were characterised by low air-temperatures over the whole Area, the temperature 

 for January, February, and March averaging more than 2° below the normal 

 for that time of year. A preliminary observation at Skate Island on March 

 27 gave an average mean temperature of 41° "3 for the vertical section; and as on 

 April 19 the mean was 41°*6, it would appear that the minimum mean temperature 

 occurred in March, and that there had been very little heating during the earlier
