Extract

Of these gigantic thermometers, with their bottle-sized bulbs, their long capillary intermediate tubes, and their upper enlarged bores for scale-reading purposes, an account of their construction and being placed in position for observation on June 26, 1879, is to be found in Part II. Vol. XXIX. of the Transactions of the Royal Society, Edinburgh, for 1879–80, and it is only proposed in the present place to give an account of their performances since that time.
