Abstract
IN the latter of these pamphlets Mr. Dymond gives an interesting discussion of the temperature range corrections for Falmouth, and an excellent résumé of the sea-temperature observations made at the same place during the three years 1872–73–74, which have been made with a just apprehension of the precautions which require to be taken, if observations of sea temperature are to have real scientific value. The omission of tables of daily maximum and minimum atmospheric pressure, which were given in the earlier issue, is a decided improvement; not so, however, is the omission of the table of the amounts of the rainfall, with the different winds, N., N.E., E., &c., which supply information of great value in defining local climates.
