THE facts of observation appealed to by Mr. Eaton with the view of proving that Greenwich is, from artificial causes, more than half a degree warmer than the south-east of England generally, and is therefore not a suitable place for a meteorological observatory of the first order, evidently call for a closer critical examination than they have yet received. If from the sixteen stations within a radius of sixty miles from the metropolis given in the paper on ``The Temperature of the British Islands,'' we omit those which are clearly inadmissible for the comparison with Greenwich owing to their position or to the short time during which observations were made, there remain the following eight stations as suitable for comparison:-Cardington 52° 7' lat. N.; Royston, 52° 2' Colchester, 51° 53' Hartwell 51° 49; Oxford, 51° 46' Great Berkhamstead, 51° 45' Chatham, 51° 23' and Aldershot, 51° 15'. The mean temperature of these eight stations, allowing for elevation, is 50°.6, and the mean temperature of Greenwich, 51°.1, results substantially agreeing with those given by Mr. Eaton.
