APPENDIX. 





The first volume of the Ben Nevis observations, published in 1890, contains an 

 account of the foundation of the Observatory and a summary of the results deduced 

 from the observations up to that time. The Low Level Observatory in Fort- William 

 was opened in July 1890. Since then several new lines of investigation have 

 opened up, more especially in regaid to the double series of hourly observations at the 

 two Observatories. The results, as far as they have gone, of some of these more recent 

 discussions are given here, and also abstracts of papers on subjects connected with the 

 Observatories that have appeared in the publications of the Royal Society of Edinburgh 

 and the Scottish Meteorological Society since the first volume was issued. 



The last items in this Appendix are tables for adjusting hourly values and for 

 reducing the Ben Nevis barometer to sea level.
