The difference in results shown in the foregoing tables are much too great to be attributed merely to observational error. Spitaler’s means were computed mainly from observations made in Europe; Ferrel’s from American data. Means obtained in latitudes lower than Lat 25 are from unknown sources. The following means were obtained at the Key West Weather Bureau Station, Lat 24° 33′.
