TUNG-CHOW. 
129 
Fahrenheit’s .thermometer, whilst we remained at Tung-Chow, 
from the 20th of August to the 2d of September, stood frequently 
in the shade during the day at 88°, once rose to 93°, and never 
fell below 83°. In the night it generally sunk to 72° and 70°, giving 
rise to a sensation of cold quite inexplicable by a reference to the 
absolute temperature.
