Abstract
DURING the past summer, in travelling across the Sierra Madre Mountains from Parral in the southern part of the State of Chihuahua, Mexico, to the mining town of Guadalupe y Calvo, on the Pacific slope about one hundred and fifty miles from the Gulf of California, some observations were taken with a small pocket aneroid barometer with thermometer attached, which may be of interest to the readers of NATURE. Both barometer and thermometer had been carefully compared with the standard instruments in Vanderbilt University and the proper corrections made.
