Abstract
AN examination of the discussion of the daily range of the barometer for square No. 3, published under Fitzroy's direction in 1861, which Mr. Symons has referred to at page 68 of this volume, shows that the results there arrived at can only be considered to be good as corrections for hourly observations of the barometer on the mean of the year. As regards the months, the results are, on account of the fewness of the observations on which they are based, too imperfect as indications of the true range to be available in correcting the averages on the large January chart issued by the Meteorological Committee. Since, moreover, the barometric range for January differs from that for the year the hourly corrections for range on the mean of the year should not be applied to the January observations printed on the large chart.
