had, in the four cases alluded to, compared the reading of the standard
thermometer for Gottingen hours with the dry bulb readings at the
homonymous Bombay hours, thus the standard thermometer read
82*4 deg. on November 3rd, 19h. Gottingen Mean Time, the corres
ponding Bombay mean time being November 3rd, 23h. 12m.; this read
ing had been compared with the dry bulb reading of 75*4 deg. on
November 3rd, 19h. 12m. of Mean Time: the two observations
compared having been made at an interval of four hours.
In all the other cases cited by Professor Orlebar, the differences of
the readings of the two dry bulb thermometers were slight, and there
was in these cases no error with reference to time : the great difference
oflT2deg- was due to the wet bulb reading having been taken by
mistake for the dry bulb reading.
As I have seen no correction of this error, it seems to me desirable
now to point it out and its source, in order that it may not be allowed
to increase the numerous imperfections of elementary works on meteor-
ology.
