220 cases of equality of temperature, to be presently considered, the 

 following is the apportionment of the remaining 2480 results : — 



In favour of right side 1343 



„ left „ 1137 



Hence the percentages of times of occurrence of relative superiority 

 of temperature for the right and left sides respectively are 54*153 and 

 45 '84 7. But in the nine spaces in which the left side has the majority 

 of cases of higher temperatare, this majority is greater than the ma- 

 jority found in the eighteen spaces in which the right side has the 

 higher average : thus, in the nine spaces specified, the left side shows 

 a mean percentage of 75*069 cases of superiority of temperature ; 

 while in the eighteen spaces in which the right side predominates the 

 mean percentage of cases of superiority of temperature is 68*117 ; 

 that is to say, those spaces which, on an average, are higher in tem- 

 perature on the left side are more exclusively so than those which, on 

 an average, are higher in temperature on the right side. 



Next, as regards equality of temperature of the two sides, the fol- 

 lowing are the spaces in which equality of temperature is most fre- 

 quently found : — 



1st Tier. 

 Districts — 1st, 2nd, 3rd. 



2nd Tier. 

 3rd, 4th. 



3rd Tier. 

 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th. 



4th Tier. 



1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th. 



hth Tier. 

 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th. 



Thus equality of temperature of the two sides is found in 16 spaces, 

 or in 59*259 per cent, of the whole number of spaces. Of the total 

 number of observations, 2,700, 220, or 8*148 per cent, show equality of 

 temperature. Taking the total number of observations we have the 

 following percentages of times of occurrence of superiority of tem- 

 perature on the right side, on the left side, and of equality of tem- 

 perature : 



Right side . . . . . . 50*112 per cent. 



Left „ 41*740 „ „ 



Equality 8*148 „ „
