Captain Franklin’s Observations on the 
Art. l\.-^Tdbles qf Summer Temperatures observed in Spits- 
bergen bp Captain Franklin and Captain Buchan. 
Xhe following Tables of summer temperatures, observed 
during Captain Franklin’s voyage to Spitzbergen with Cap- 
tain Buchan, communicated to us for publication in the Philo- 
sophical Journal, are important, not only as connected with the 
climate of Spitzbergen, but also as illustrating some of the views 
taken of climate by Dr Richardson, in his very interesting and 
able memoir, On the Climate and Vegetable Prodirctionsof the 
Hudson’s Bay Countries,” also published in the present Number.
