Section VII. — Other Observations in 1832. 
105. The following miscellaneous observations of the actinometer and other meteo- 
rological instruments were made simultaneously, or nearly so, at the Faulhorn by 
M. Kamtz, and at various inferior stations by myself in September j 832. If they afford 
no other immediate result, they at least show how unavailing such observations are 
unless made under the most favourable circumstances with respect to weather. I 
shall offer but few remarks upon these Tables, which after what has been said explain 
themselves sufficiently. I will add, however, that in point of care and continuity of 
observation, these observations are in general equally worthy of confidence with those 
of the 25th of September.
