Abstract
LIKE Dr. Chree (p. 437) I have had experience of the vagaries of self-recording instruments, but I have generally been able to trace them to some remediable defect in the instrument or to the ignorance or carelessness of those who use them. I fancy that the man who constantly uses a certain instrument, and uses it intelligently and not by mere rule-of-thumb, has a fairly correct notion of the magnitude of the errors to which it is liable. If not, what reliance are we to place on any instrumental observations?
