Abstract
THERE appears to be something almost abnormal in the climatic conditions to which the observatory at Stonyhurst is subject (vol. xv. p. 399). I remember going into a garden in the neighbourhood of Knaresborough, in Yorkshire, about eight o'clock on the morning of Christmas Day, 1860, and seeing what I suppose had never been seen in England outside a laboratory before that morning, viz., the mercury in a thermometer standing at 8° F. below zero, i.e., 40° F. of frost At Stonyhurst on the same day the thermometer went down only to 6°.7 F., i.e., there were 25°.3 F. of frost.
