From 20 years of observations; from 1840 to 1859, inclusive. Dr. N. D. Smith. Smithsonian Cont. to Knowl. Washington, i860. Two observations a day; Qr and 2a, Nov. to April, inclusive; Qr and 3a, May to Oct. inclusive. Means uncorrected for daily fluctuation. The tabular numbers for five stations, having the longest series of observations, are graphically represented on the accompanying plate. The greater irregularity for the shorter series is sufficiently well marked, and the zigzag lines of the Salem temperature, derived from a 43 year series, are yet inconveniently large for the purposes of comparison. The Marietta and Providence daily temperatures show many coincidences in the zigzag lines or in the differences from their respective mean values and particularly so in the winter season; the Portland temperatures, also, frequently conform to the same fluctuations. From this we infer that changes from the normal temperatures extend, especially in the winter season, over large tracts of country, and there are also indications of the occurrence of the same phase about one day later in Rhode Island than in Ohio, showing that the normal state of the weather has a tendency (especially in the winter) to an easterly progression, the same as recognized in the case of storms or unusual thermal disturbances of the atmosphere. About the 20th of February, all stations indicate a rapid rise of temperature, this epoch, therefore, deserves further attention; there are also fainter indications of an unusual depression about May 31, of a constancy between September 13 and 18, and of a rapid decline about Nov. 26. The temperatures record...
