The annexed diagram, for the construction of which I am in¬ 
debted to Dr. G. Hambach, represents the principal results of 
these tables. The perpendicular lines divide the year into 73 
periods of 5 days each, while the horizontal ones mark the de¬ 
grees. The central full-faced curve indicates the Mean Tempera¬ 
ture of the penthemeral periods of the 47 years, as actually found, 
while the dotted line represents the supposed real Mean Temper¬ 
ature as suggested in the last column of these tables. The upper¬ 
most curve shows the Highest Temperatures and the lowest curve 
the Lowest Temperatures observed in those same penthemeral 
periods within the s ime number of years. It will be noticed that 
while the points of Mean Temperature occupy the centre of each 
period, the Maxima and Minima do not show in the middle of the 
spaces, but on that one of the 5 days of the period on which they 
actually did occur.
