Its mean temperature in December seems to be 2° higher than oiu's, this however is only apparently so and arises from the series of years not being absolutely coincident—in the four years wliich corres- pond the variation is but 0°.3. The Torquay tables do not shew monthly results and therefore cannot be so compared.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b21472750_0066.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
