The immediately preceding paper deals with the average difference of temperature between Ben Nevis and Fort-William throughout the year, but the difference often departs widely from these average values. The greatest departures from the average during the time that hourly readings are available at both places, viz. from 1st August 1890 to 30th September 1904, were Ben Nevis 17°·6 warmer than Fort-William at 9 A.M. on 19th February 1895, and Ben Nevis 28°·8 colder than Fort-William at 2 A.M. on 19th December 1890, being respectively 33°·3 below and 13°·1 above the mean difference, which is Ben Nevis 15°·7 colder than Fort-William.
