SOME observations of air temperature, which I was able to make at Vadsö during the solar eclipse on August 9, are perhaps worthy of being put on record. I observed on the plateau or flat-topped hill north of the town of Vadsö, a few minutes' walk beyond Prof. Copeland's station, and at the height of 400 feet above the sea, by aneroid. None of the astronomical observers occupied quite such a high position. It was chosen in order to escape the disturbing effect of air-currents on the hill-side sloping to the fjord. The thermometer was provided with a small bulb, and hung from the tripod of a 3-inch telescope, the bulb being about 18 inches from the ground. No special precautions were taken to shield it from the sun's rays; unfortunately, they were not necessary. A light northerly breeze was blowing, and the sky was heavily clouded.
