Abstract
DR. WAGNER has given us a comprehensive discussion of the temperature results obtained with registering balloons in Europe during the period July, 19O2-June, 1907, and has incidentally furnished an excellent practical tribute to the collective publication of the international observations under the direction of Prof. Hergesell. The author's primary object was to deal with the annual variation of temperature, but he has found room also for the consideration of many associated questions. Altogether 380 ascents were considered, all of which reached 8 km. and twenty-nine of which reached 16 km. Doubtful observations were rejected.
