POSITION AND DESCRIPTION OF THE OBSERVATORY. 


1. The Magnetical and Meteorological Observatory at Makerstoun, in Rox- 
burghshire, was erected by General Sir THomas MAkDOUGALL BRISBANE, Bart., in 
the year 1841. The geographical co-ordinates are as follow :— 

Latitude, : : : : : 55° 34’ 45” N.* 
Longitude, : : é : : 0" 10™ 3:5: W. of Greenwich. 

‘Height of the barometer cistern above mean water at Berwick, 213 feet.{ 

2. The Magnetical Observatory is situate nearly on the summit of a ridge, which 
occupies the left or northern bank of the Tweed, being 540 feet distant from, and 
80 feet above, that river. The Astronomical Observatory is upon the highest part 
of the ridge, 140 feet due west of the Magnetic Observatory. A fair horizon is seen 
from the Observatory hill, being bounded about 10 miles to the east by a slightly- 
swelling ground, which, to the east-south-east, seems to join the Cheviot Hills. The 
view is bounded about a mile to south and south-west by a ridge, forming the right 
bank of the Tweed; about 500 feet to the south-west and north-west by masses of 
trees in the Makerstoun grounds ;§ and from | to 3 miles to north-west, north, and

servations for 1843, Introduction, p. ix.

shews the trees in the grounds at their most unfavourable elevation.

north-east, by an elevated ridge, which forms, to some extent, the northern boundary 
of the valley of the Tweed. From north, by the east, to the south, the elevation of 
the horizon, with a slight exception, is under 2°; from the north to the north-west, 
increasing from 2° to 4°; from the north-west to the south-west, the tops of the 
trees are elevated from 5° to 8°; and from the south-west to the south the eleva- 
tion is under 4°. The highest point of the Cheviots, which is 2656 feet above the 
level of the sea, is about 18 miles to the east-south-east ; it is occasionally referred 
to in the meteorological remarks on clouds. 

3. The Observatory hill, it is believed, is composed of felspathic trap. The 
Tweed, immediately to the south, and for a mile to the east and west, flows more 
or less through this rock, which does not appear upon any part of the hill. The 
opening for a foundation to the Observatory shewed only masses of rolled pebbles, 
and boulders of greywacke and trap. 

4. The Observatory is rectangular in its plan, 40 feet by 20 feet internally. It 
is formed of wood ; copper nails were used ; and iron carefully excluded from every 
part of the structure. The pillars for the magnetometers and telescopes are of 
stone, from 22 inches to 19 inches in diameter, and are placed upon excellent stone 
foundations, completely unconnected with the floor, and every part of the building. 
By a reference to the plan and elevation, the following details will be understood. 
(Plate I.) 

There are two windows to the south, with the door between ; and three to the 
north, which open like folding doors. The dimensions of the principal apartment 
are, 40 feet long, 12 feet broad, and 12 feet high. The two ante-rooms are each 
15 feet long, 74 feet broad, and 12 feet high. The instruments are indicated in the 
plan as follow :— 


D, The Declinometer. 
t, Its Reading Telescope. 
A, The Azimuth Circle and Transit. 
H, The Bifilar or Horizontal Force Magnetometer. 
t’, Its Reading Telescope. 
P, A Pillar for a Collimator (not used). 
V, The Balance or Vertical Force Magnetometer. 
I, Pillar for the Inclinometer (not used here). 
B, The Standard Barometer. 
W, The Anemometer. 
W’, The Wind-Vane Dial-Plate. 
T, The Thermometer Case. 
C, The Mean Time Clock. 
ns, The Astronomical Meridian. 
Dt, The Magnetical Meridian.

The vane farthest to the right in the elevation, Plate I., belongs to the anemo- 
meter ; the others give the direction of the wind. 


SYSTEM OF OBSERVATION, AND STAFF OF OBSERVERS. 


5. In the beginning of 1843, the number of daily observations was increased to 
nine, at two-hourly intervals, commencing with 18" Gottingen mean time (5" 10™ a.m. 
Makerstoun mean time); these, together with all the other daily observations, were 
made by Mr WELSH and myself. In the end of 1843, I recommended to Sir THomas 
BrisBANE to add Mr ALEXANDER HoGe, who had been previously employed in the 
term-day observations, to the establishment, for the purpose of obtaining a complete 
diurnal series of observations. Sir THomAs, with his usual anxiety to render the 
Observatory in every respect useful to science, at once complied with my recom- 
mendation ; and, in the beginning of the year 1844, hourly observations were com- 
menced, which were continued till the end of the year 1845. In 1846, the num- 
ber of daily observations was diminished to nine at two-hourly intervals, as in 1843 ; 
three additional observations of the magnetical instruments were made daily, namely, 
at 234, 1, and 7" Gottingen mean time. The other observations in the magnetical 
observatory, consisted of term-day observations once a-month (discontinued in 
1846) ; extra magnetical observations during magnetic disturbances ; observations 
of magnetic dip ; observations of absolute horizontal intensity ; and extra observa- 
tions of various meteorological phenomena. All the observations have been made 
by Mr Jonn WeELsH, Mr ALEXANDER Hoce, and myself; Mr Dons assisting in 
the term-day observations, and on a few occasions during disturbances. The more 
difficult observations for the magnetic dip, absolute horizontal intensity, and the 
determinations of constants were made by Mr WELSH and myself. 

I beg again to express here how much I am indebted to Sir THomAs BrisBaNneg, 
in every matter connected with the conduct of the Observatory. Without his will- 
ing co-operation, unceasing kindness, and the confidence which he has placed in my 
labours from the commencement, it would have been irksome for so small a staff to 
have performed conscientiously so large a mass of work. Science is not only in- 
debted to Sir THomas BrisBaNe for the foundation and support of the Observatory, 
but also for the manner in which his expenditure has been made fruitful. 

I owe my best thanks to my principal assistant Mr Joun WELSH, for the care 
and assiduity with which he has assisted me on all occasions, whether connected 
with the making or reducing of the observations. Mr Hoce also has been of much 
use, especially in observing, and in many matters of handicraft, which his previous 
experience and inventive skill have rendered available to the purposes of the Obser- 
vatory. 

Every care was taken by the observers to examine the observations made by 
those immediately preceding them ; in this way it is believed that few errors have 
escaped detection. Accidental errors in the times of observation have always been

noted, and generally the director of the Observatory believes that he has an easy 
task in bearing the responsibility connected with the honest discharge of the duties 


of his assistants. 


DECLINOMETER. 


6. The declination magnetometer was obtained from GruBsB of Dublin. The 
magnet a is 15 inches long, $ inch broad, and 4 inch thick ; it fits into a stirrup 0, 


whose two eyes receive an axle to which the suspension thread is attached ; near 
the north extremity it carries a scale divided on glass, c; near the other, at a dis- 
tance from the scale of about 12 inches, the focal length, it carries a lens of 14 inch 
diameter, d. A marble slab m, cemented to the top of the stone pillar p, carries two 
copper tubes ff, 35 inches long, which are connected at the top by a mahogany 
tie g, bearing the torsion-circle and suspension apparatus ¢, and, about 7 inches 
from the slab, by another wooden cross-piece h, which supports a glass tube e enclos- 
ing the suspension thread. The magnet is enclosed by a rectangular wooden box k, 
formed of two pieces fitting into each other in the middle by a groove and tongue, 
glazed at the extremities, and having only a small aperture in the centre for the 


DECLINOMETER. xiii 
suspension thread: this box also enclosed a copper ring for checking the vibrations 
of the magnet; it was removed October 15, 1844, and is not shewn in the figure : 
a cylindrical wooden drum 2, together with two lids (not shewn in the figure), fitting 
by pegs upon the cross-piece A, enclose the box and magnet. There are two glazed 
apertures also in the wooden drum, opposite those in the rectangular box ; one to the 
north, where a small mirror / throws light upon the glass scale; the other to the 
south, between the lens and reading telescope. All the joints of the boxes, including 
those in contact with the marble slab, are covered with velvet, and both boxes are 
pressed firmly against the marble slab by means of leaden weights, which were pre- 
viously determined to have no effect upon the position of the magnet. In order to 
destroy any effect of radiation, both boxes were covered with gilt paper, externally 
and internally. The suspension apparatus is covered by a wooden cap (not shewn 
in the figure). In order to prevent the variation of humidity within the boxes as 
much as possible, the whole apparatus was covered, February 14, 1844, by a thick 
double cotton hood, tied round the stone pillar, and having only small openings 
at the glazed apertures of the boxes. The reading telescope is fixed to a stone 
pillar ; the object glass is 8 feet to the magnetic south of the magnet lens. 

7. The pillar of the azimuth circle, used for determinations of the absolute 
declination, is between the pillars of the magnetometer and its reading telescope. 
This theodolite is by TroucuTon ; the circle is 15 inches in diameter, is divided to 
5 minutes, and is read to 5 seconds with three verniers. The lines of collimation of 
the theodolite and reading telescopes coincide when the middle wire of the former 
is seen, in either telescope, coinciding with the vertical wire of the latter. The 
circle is retained in the same position on its pillar, but the transit telescope is re- 
moved, excepting when required for observations of absolute declination. 


8. The following are the data used in reducing the observations of the decli- 
nometer :— 


Values of the declinometer scale divisions in angular measure. 
The adopted mean value of one division of the long scale of 500 divisions = 06725* 


During the observations of absolute horizontal intensity, the magnet with the 
long scale, usually in the declination box, was removed to the unifilar box in the 
intensity house, and a magnet with a short scale was substituted. 


The adopted mean value of one division of the short scale of 300 divisions = 0'°7500* 


From the adopted values of the long and short scale divisions, the coefficient 
for reducing the divisions of the short scale to the same value as the divisions of the 
long scale = 1:115 ; the reciprocal = 0°897.

9. The determinations for the effects of the different magnets upon each other 
are given in the previous volumes. The plate-glass in the declinometer boxes was 
found to have no effect upon the reading of the magnet. The determinations of 
the corrections are given in the volume for 1843. 

10. Correction for the torsion force of the suspension thread. 

The errors due to the torsion force of the suspension thread are produced, first, 
by the magnet moving out of the plane of detorsion ; secondly, by the variation of 
this plane (due generally to the varying humidity of the atmosphere). The error 
due to the former, even in the most marked cases, is less than the probable error of 
the observations, and it is altogether inappreciable, compared with the error due to 
the second. 

If the plane of detorsion be that of the magnetic meridian, and the magnet be 
deflected through an arc w by turning the arms of the torsion circle w, the torsion 
is w—u, and the equation of equilibrium is 


mXu=(w—u) H 


where m is the magnetic moment of the bar, X is the horizontal component of 
the earth’s magnetic force, and H is the torsion force for an arc equal to radius, 
whence, if m X = F, 


is the quantity by which the deviations of the magnet from the plane of detorsion 
should be multiplied to obtain the decrements due to torsion. If be the observed 
deviation, (1 + ©) = the true deviation. The following observation for the value 
of ® for the suspension thread placed in the instrument, June 22, 1843, and for the 
long scale magnet will serve for the observations in 1845 and 1846 :—

This value has not been used for this correction; it has been employed in the 
observations of absolute horizontal intensity made in 1845 and 1846. 

11. The second and most important error due to the torsion force is that pro- 
duced by the variation of the plane of detorsion. Unless when the period and extent 
of change is known, this can only be corrected by removing it; this is done occa- 
sionally in the following manner :—The magnet, with its stirrup, being removed, a 
brass bar and stirrup of nearly the same weight aud dimensions is suspended ; the 
rectangular box being removed, the cylindrica] box being completely closed, and the 
shutters removed from the glazed lid, the extremities of the are of vibration are 
observed through the latter; the marble slab beneath having radii drawn for every 
5° on each side of the magnetic meridian, the positions of rest at the extremities 
of the ares are estimated to 4°; the deviation of the mean position from the magneti¢ 
meridian is known, and the arms of the torsion circle are turned through an equal 
angle in the opposite direction ; the position of rest is then in the magnetic meri- 
dian. Much time and care were bestowed upon these observations, as the error 
due to this cause is by far the most serious that occurs in connection with the de- 
clinometer. 

12. The following are all the observations for the elimination of torsion made 
in 1845 and 1846, together with all the occasions on which the magnet was touched 
or removed from its box. When the mean position of rest for the north end of the 
brass bar was found to the east of the magnetic north, the torsion existing is con- 
sidered positive, and the effect of + 10° of torsion=—0'-84 (from the previous obser- 
vation for the value of ®.) In the first case below, the north end of the brass bar 
was found to rest 74° west of the magnetic north ; and the brass bar was thereafter 
made to coincide with the magnetic meridian. 

Feb. 5433" 1845. Torsion removed, —74°. The torsion could not have been 
more than 3° at first, but the north end of the brass bar moved slowly westward as 
if affected by currents, or as if the suspension thread were affected by moisture. 

March 234 233° 1845. Torsion removed, — 182°. 

April 24 23%, 1845. Torsion removed, — 34°. The line of detorsion of the 
supension thread varied during the observation ; at first it was about N. 3° E. and 
S. 3° W.; ultimately it was N.5° E. and S. 5° W. The torsion circle was turned 34’. 

May 8¢ 33", 1845. Torsionremoved, —}°. June 184 21", 1845. Torsion re- 
moved, + 14°. 

Sept. 214 223», 1845. Torsion removed, + 19°. This amount of torsion may 
possibly be due to the dampness arising from washing the floor of the Observatory. 
September 204, the brass bar was suspended, with some difficulty in the manipula- 
tion, but it is not conceived that much torsion could have been thus introduced.

sion were compared with the readings of the unifilar in the intensity house ; allow- 
ance being made for the torsion removed, both comparisons gave the same differ- 
ence of readings.

in the declinometer box ; at 84", torsion removed, + 84°. 

April 14* 20°, 1846. Torsion removed, + 34°. Comparisons of the unifilar and 
declinometer readings were made before and after removing the torsion, the differ- 
ences of the readings agreed when allowance was made for the torsion removed : 
these comparisons shew that no torsion is introduced during the manipulations con- 
nected with the exchange of magnets, and the suspension of the brass bar. 

The declination magnet remained untouched from April 144 20", 1846, till 
May 124 5", 1847, when the torsion removed was — 144°.

14. The observations of the declinometer were made in the following manner :— 
The points of the scale which coincided with the vertical wire of the reading tele- 
scope were noted at the extremity of the magnet’s vibration occurring between 
27 seconds and 9 seconds before the minute of observation, and at the extremities 
of the two following vibrations: the scale readings at these periods being a, 6, and

seldom above 3’, and is generally less than 2’; during disturbances, however, the 
arc is often considerable, and frequently in these cases only two observations are 
made, the mean position being obtained at once from the mean of the two readings 
at the extremities of the vibration which occur between 18° and 0° before, and between 
0° and 18*after, the minute of observation.

The middle wire of the theodolite telescope is brought to coincide with the ver- 
tical wire of the fixed reading telescope (7.); the three verniers of the horizontal 
circle are then read; the theodolite telescope is turned (on the vertical axis of the 
circle) until its middle wire coincides with the vertical line on the north meridian 
mark of Sir THomMAs BrisBANE’s (the western) transit in the Astronomical Obser- 
vatory, and the verniers are again read. In order to obtain the reading of the 
horizontal circle for the astronomical meridian, the theodolite telescope was placed 
as nearly as possible in the meridian, and being accurately levelled, the time of the 
sun’s transit was observed by the Magnetic Observatory clock. The sun’s meridian 
passage was also observed by Sir THomas BrisBANE with his western transit in the 
Astronomical Observatory, and the clocks in the two observatories being imme- 
diately compared, the true time of transit by the clock in the Magnetic Observatory 
was obtained. The difference, if any, between the true and observed times, was 
due to error of azimuth ; the latter, being very small, was obtained from the former 
in multiplying by the factor, 

cosine sun’s declination 
cosine sun’s altitude 


16. If A’ be the difference of the horizontal circle readings for the wire of the 
fixed telescope and for the north mark, Z be the azimuth of the north mark, and 
D be the angle at any instant contained by the line of collimation of the reading 
telescope and the adopted zero scale reading, the true westerly declination at that 
time will be 


180° — A’ + Z=+D. 


The values of 180°— A’=A, obtained in 1844, 1845, and 1846, are given in the

UNIFILAR MAGNETOMETER. X1X 


UNIFILAR MAGNETOMETER AND OBSERVATIONS OF THE ABSOLUTE HORIZONTAL 
INTENSITY OF THE EARTH’S MAGNETISM. 


18. In the beginning of April 1843 two small wooden houses were erected about 
19 yards to the north of the Magnetic Observatory ; the larger of the houses contains 
the unifilar magnetometer and the dip circle, and the smaller, which is 10 feet to 
SSE. of the larger, contains a reading telescope for the magnetometer. 

The unifilar magnetometer resis on a strongly-braced wooden stand, which is 
fixed by copper battens and plaster of paris to a stone slab, resting on a stone founda- 
tion separated from the floor ; the top block of the stand, a solid piece of mahogany, 
carries a vertical box enclosing the suspension thread and supporting the torsion 
circle, this box is open on two opposite sides near the stand top; a horizontal box 
slides on the vertical one, and when close to the stand top the magnet is completely 
enclosed ; an internal box was afterwards added, and all the precautions already 
indicated (6.) for the declinometer were taken. The magnet used when observations 
of absolute horizontal intensity were made was that usually in the declinometer, a 
spare magnet being fitted with a short scale (8.) was substituted for it ; the telescope 
(that intended for a collimator to the bifilar) was placed in the smaller wooden house, 
on a stand in all respects similar to that for the unifilar: the two houses were con- 
nected, during observations, in the line of collimation of the telescope and magnet by a 
wooden tube blackened within. A beam of straight well-seasoned fir, 11 feet long, 
32 inches broad, and 1# inches thick, was placed on each side (outside) of the larger 
wooden house, in the line passing through the centre of the suspended magnet, and 
at right angles to the magnetic meridian ; each beam was let into the tops of two 
strongly-braced wooden trestles, 7 feet apart, which rested on wooden posts driven 
into the ground, and which were fixed to the latter by catch-pins, allowing a slight 
adjustment for the distance of the beams from the magnet; the trestles and beams 
being removed after each observation. The beams were carefully divided with the 
aid of a brass standard yard made by Messrs TRouGHTON and Simms; the gradua- 
tions were adjusted to their distance from the suspended magnet in the following 
manner :—a well-seasoned fir rod, shod with brass at one extremity, and terminated 
at the other by a capstan-headed screw, by which the rod was accurately adjusted to 
a length of six feet, was passed through holes in the sides of the wooden house and 
unifilar box ; the middle of the rod coinciding with the suspension thread, the catch 
pins of the trestles were then loosened or forced in till the extremities of the six-feet 
rod coincided accurately with the division 3 feet on each beam. The deflecting 
magnet was adjusted to the graduations on the beams with the aid of a lens; in 1844 
the graduations were marked on brass pin-heads placed in the beams. The fixidity 
of the trestles was verified in general after each observation, and the accuracy of the 
graduations on the beams was verified usually before each observation.

19. The value of the absolute horizontal intensity is determined from the ob- 
servations as follows :—If7r be the distance from the centre of the suspended magnet, 
at which the centre of the deflecting bar is placed on the wooden beam, its axis being 
in the line at right angles to the magnetic meridian passing through the centre of the 
suspended magnet; and if wu be the resulting angle, through which the suspended 
magnet is deflected, then since, by Gauss’s theory, the ratio of the magnetic moment 
m of the deflecting bar to X, the horizontal component of the earth’s magnetic force, 
is given by the following formula 


il 


m 1 
—=—,* tan uz 


xX P 


q 
1+ te + &e. 
where p and q are quantities depending on the mode of distribution of the magnet- 
ism in the magnetic bars, the value of the ratio may be determined from observa- 


tions at three distances; tan wis obtained from the formula 


1+k (6,—6,) 
1l—g (ta—tv) 


tan wu=tan [ps {(u, + u—% + ou) — f (d,+,d—d,+,d)} (1 + 2) |. 


where a is the angular value of one division of the long scale, f is the coefficient for 
reducing the divisions of the short scale to the value of divisions of the long scale ; 
u, and yu are the observed mean scale readings of the unifilar magnetometer, the de- 
flecting bar, with its north pole towards the east, being at a given distance to the 
east and west respectively of the suspended magnet; similarly, w, and ,w are the 
mean scale readings when the deflecting bar, at the same distance, has its north pole 
towards the west: d,, .d, &c., are the simultaneous mean scale readings of the de- 
clinometer corresponding to wm, wu, &c.: (1 + ®) is the torsion factor. [The quan- 
tity within brackets is given for each distance in the column of the observations, 
“ Deflection corrected for Torsion.” | The last factor reduces the value of the tangent 
to the value of X and m at the time of vibration, & being the coefficient for reducing 
the scale divisions of the bifilar magnetometer to parts of horizontal force, bz, and 6, 
are the mean scale readings of the bifilar at the times of deflection and vibration re- 
spectively ; q is the temperature coefficient for the deflecting bar, t, and t, are the 
mean temperatures of the bar during deflection and vibration respectively. 

The values of log 4 7° tan wu are given for each distance, pages 166 and 167. 

20. The following are the values of the constants used in the previous formula :— 


a = 4035 (No. 8.) f = 1-115 (No. 8.) q = 0:000288.* 
In 1845, & = 0:000140. In 1846, & = 0:000135. 
For the thread in the unifilar box and long scale magnet, ® = 0:00212. 


21. The comparative observations for u and d were rendered simultaneous thus :

UNIFILAR MAGNETOMETER. XX1 


The times of vibration of the unifilar and declination magnets being nearly the same, 
the time at which the unifilar magnet attained one extremity of its arc of vibration 
was instantly indicated by me to Mr WELSH, who could observe my motions through 
one of the north windows of the Observatory. He immediately commenced counting 
the beats of the mean time clock, and at the end of the 18th second (the time of 
one vibration) both observers commenced making readings of the magnetometers ; 
those by Mr WeLsH being made at the end of the 18th, 36th, 54th, &c., seconds, 
and those by myself at the extremities of the arcs of vibration. From 7 to 12 con- 
secutive readings were made thus at every position of the deflecting bar, and from 
these the mean readings are deduced. In order to render the ares of vibration of 
the unifilar as small as possible, the deflecting bar was at first moved gradually up 
to its nearest distance (5 feet); in placing it at the next distance, it was moved 
rapidly nearly half way, and 18 seconds counted, when it was immediately shifted 
the other half. When the farthest distance was attained, it was placed vertically, 
and after 18 seconds, laid down in the reverse position ; it was then moved as before, 
by half-shifts, to its next position, and so up to the nearest. After comparative 
readings for that position, the magnet was again placed vertically, and carried to 
the beam on the opposite side of the suspended magnet ; at the end of 36 seconds 
it was laid down at the same distance, and with the north pole in the same direc- 
tion as before. In general, the vibrations were small, seldom above 10’; when 
larger, the magnet was checked by slightly approaching or removing the deflecting 
bar at proper times, with reference to the directions in which the suspended magnet 
was moving. Mr WELSH observed the bifilar magnetometer before and after each 
comparison, and after each comparison I observed the temperature of the deflecting 
bar by means of a thermometer lying beside it. 
22. The value of the product m X is obtained from the formula

where 7; and 7, are the internal and external radii of a regular metallic ring, M is 
the mass of the ring in grains, T, is the true time of one vibration without the ring 
(obtained by the above formula for T), T, is the true time of one vibration with the 
ring placed horizontally on the magnet, and is obtained from the observed time T, 
by the formula 


T.=T/(1-S2)a+a7(1 — S50) {2+ # Go —%) -—2 mv —4)} 


where the symbols in the first four factors have the same meaning as given above 
for T, it being remembered that ® is the ratio of the torsion force to the horizon- 
tal force for the declinometer thread when carrying both the deflecting bar and ring. 
The last factor contains the reduction of the time of vibration to the value of the 
horizontal component for which T, was the time of vibration without the ring; &, 
therefore, is the bifilar coefficient, given previously, 6, and 6, are the mean bifilar 
readings when the times of vibration T, and T, were observed, g is the temperature 
coefficient for the deflecting bar, given above, ¢ and are the mean temperatures of 
the bar corresponding to the observations T, and T;. As the observations for de- 
flection are corrected for temperature to the temperature at the time of vibration, 
the value of m at the time of vibration is taken as the standard value for the series, 
as far as temperature is concerned, but it requires a correction for the inductive 
action of the earth, due to the position of the magnet during vibration in the plane 
of maximum magnetic force ; during deflections the magnet is placed at right angles 
to the magnetic meridian, and is therefore unaffected by induction : the first equa- 
tion, No. 22, therefore becomes

where n and s are the mean scale readings of the bifilar magnetometer when the 
deflecting bar is placed in the magnetic meridian with its north end towards the 
north and south respectively, its centre being in the prolongation of the bifilar 
magnet, b is the bifilar reading with the deflecting bar away. 

The deflecting bar was vibrated in the declinometer box after the observations 
of deflection; it was suspended in a stirrup of silk fibres of the same thickness as 
the suspension thread, and a small thread of paper bemg gummed to the extremity 
next the reading telescope, the times of transits of the paper at the wire of the read- 
ing telescope towards right and left were observed for every 5 vibrations each way

up to the 96th vibration. A moveable object-glass fits upon the object-glass of the 
reading telescope, in order to bring the paper slip into view without altering the ad- 
justment of the telescope. 

23. The following are the values of the constants used in the preceding formule. 
® for the declinometer thread, with the deflecting bar suspended, is obtained from 
the value when the long scale magnet is suspended by multiplying the latter by the 
ratio of the moments of the two magnets; thus, moment of long scale magnet is to 
moment of deflecting bar, as 1-000 is to 0°942, whence, from the values of © for 
the long scale magnet (No. 10), we have for the deflecting bar and declinometer 
thread, 


During 1845 and 1846, © = 0:001482. 


The rate of the Observatory clock was generally less then 2 secondsa-day. No 
correction for rate was therefore employed in the determination of T. 

24. The following are the details for the determination of K. | 

The deflecting bar is 1°25 feet (= a) in length; 0-0719 feet (= 6) in breadth ; 
6216°7 grains in weight (= W). The value of K had been previously determined

termine it by the more accurate formula given previously ; as it was doubtful whether 
the declinometer thread could sustain the deflecting bar and an additional weight, 
a stronger thread was substituted, for which ® was determined.

The deflecting bar was vibrated in a stirrup of silk without any appendages,

Bifilar magnetometer, observed every 5™ during vibration ; mean during vibration cor- 
rected for temperature = 569°3 sc. div. 
Deflecting bar with scale and lens suspended in brass stirrup, ® = 0:003966. 


As all the observations for the time of vibration of the deflecting bar had been 
made previously with the bar suspended in a stirrup of silk fibres, in order to employ 
the second formula for K, given above, depending on the dimensions and weight of 
the bar, it was necessary in the present case, to determine the value of K for the 
same mode of suspension. The two values of © given above for the bar suspended 
ina brass and in a silk fibre stirrup, without the ring, give ® with brass stirrup 
suspension, to ® with silk stirrup suspension, as, 193: 200, whence, from the value 
of ® above for brass stirrup suspension and magnet with the ring, = 0:003966, we 
find ® for silk stirrup suspension and magnet with ring = 0°004109. 


Since 6, — 6, = — 15-4 se. div., k = 0-000135, 4, — ¢, = + 0°4, g = 0:000288. 
The true time of one vibration with the ring (reduced to the value of X for T,) T, = 275-8403. 
25. From the above, therefore, we find for the deflecting bar without ap- 


pendages, 
Log K, = 2°9091359 at the temperature of 38°:4 Fahr. 


The value of K used in the reductions in the present volume has been obtained 
from K, by the formula 


K =K,{l+e (% — 38)? 


where ¢ is the dilatation of steel for 1° Fahr. = 0:0000068, and ¢, is the temperature 
of the bar during vibration.

From the formula K = "4" W, log K = 29096331. 
26. The following are the observations for the value of the induction coefficient

oOo 


Nov 15, 1847. A strong wooden beam having been fixed horizontally in the 


mm 
prolongation of the magnetic axis of the bifilar magnet which lies at right angles 
to the magnetic meridian, the deflecting bar was mounted in a wooden block having 
a groove cut to contain the bar; when the deflecting bar was in its place, it was in 
the same horizontal plane with, its axis was at right angles to, and its centre was in 
the prolongation of, the axis of the bifilar magnet. The block was fixed to the 
wooden beam: the deflecting bar when removed and replaced, was carried with a thick 
cloth glove or silk handkerchief, to prevent variation of temperature in handling. 
In reversing the magnet, the same side was always kept next the bifilar magnet.* 


* Tt will in general be preferable to place the deflecting bar to the east or west (as in the present 
observations), rather than to the north or south of the bifilar magnet, since I have found that the 
centre of figure may differ considerably from the centre of magnetism; perhaps, for the same reason, 
when observations are made only on one side of the bifilar magnet, the deflecting bar should be in- 
verted when it is reversed, since the magnetic axis may be nearer one side of the bar than the other.

This value is very large, more than twice as great as that obtained for small 
4-inch bars, and is evidently not to be neglected in the rudest mode of observation 
for the horizontal intensity. [For the final results, see the addendum to the In- 
troduction. ] }

28. This instrument was made by Gruss of Dublin, and is similar in its general 
construction to the declinometer, having two boxes, gilt internally and externally as 
in the latter instrument. The magnet a a, whose dimensions are 15 inches, % inch, 
and 4 inch, is placed in a stirrup 6, which carries below it a tube ¢, having a lens d

at the extremity next the reading telescope, and a glass scale at the other : the scale 
has 280 divisions, and the graduation at the 300th division ; increasing readings of 


the scale indicate increasing magnetic force ; the axle of a grooved wheel ¢ fits into 
the suspension eyes of the stirrup 6; the magnet, with these appendages, is borne 
by a silver wire f, passing round the grooved wheel, and having its two extremities 
pegged into a suspension roller g: the roller is supported by the torsion circle h, 
which also bears, beneath the roller, a micrometer-headed screw 2, right-handed where 
it meets one extremity of the wire, left-handed where it meets the other. The screw 
serves to render the distance of the extremities of the wire equal to the diameter of 
the grooved wheel ; the screw and suspension roller turn with the verniersk. A 
copper ring encircles the magnet, in order to check the vibrations. A thermometer 
by ADIE and Son is enclosed by a glass tube passing through both boxes, the stem 
of the thermometer, with the graduations, being above the lid of the outer box; the 
bulb of the thermometer rests in a cup, formed in a brass bar of the same dimensions 
as the bifilar magnet; the brass bar is supported on a wooden stand, and lies parallel 
to the magnet ; the bulb of the thermometer is also covered loosely by a small brass 
cap. It was found from comparative observations (p. xxx., Introduction, 1843) that 
a thermometer, with its bulb free, would differ 1° from the thermometer resting in 
the brass bar in the course of a daily change of 10° of temperature. The whole in- 
strument was covered with a double thick cotton cover Jan. 3146" 1844, The read- 
ing telescope is fixed to a stone pier, 8 feet south of the magnet. 

29. In the adjustment of the instrument, the magnet is forced to a position at 
right angles to the magnetic meridian, by turning the arms of the torsion circle. 
As, in forcing the magnet from the meridian, the upper extremities of the wire will 
move through a greater angle than the lower extremities, the wires will be no longer 
vertical, and the magnet and appendages will be raised; the forces producing equi- 
librium will, therefore, be the weight suspended endeavouring to attain the lowest 
point, and the horizontal component of the earth’s magnetic intensity acting on the 
free magnetism of the bar.

30. If v be the excess of the angular motion of the arms of the torsion circle, 
or upper extremities of the wire, over w, that of the lower extremity or magnetic bar 
in moving the latter from the meridian, the equation of equilibrium will be

m, X, W, a, and / being respectively the magnetic moment of the bar, the hori- 
zontal component of the earth’s magnetic force, the weight suspended, the interval, 
and the length of the wires. The differential of this equation (u = 90°) divided by 
it, gives

n being the number of scale divisions from the zero, or scale reading when u=90", 
a the arc value in parts of radius of one scale division, ¢ the number of degrees

coefficient of the temperature correction for the varying magnetic moment of the

bar or the value of —" for 1° Fahr., e and e’ the coefficients of expansion for the 


brass of the grooved wheel and silver of the wires. 

31. It is assumed, in the previous investigation, that the suspending wire does 
not act by any inherent elastic force; that the torsion force depends wholly on the 
length and interval of the two portions of the wire and the angle of twist: it seems 
extremely probable that this condition will not be rigorously sustained, and it is 
very possible that there may be considerable twist in the suspending wire or thread ; 
for this reason, the following methods, which are independent of the angle of torsion, 
were employed to determine the coefficient :—

tions of the bifilar being obtained for different values of r, p and qg also may be 
eliminated. 

33. Wooden beams having been placed in the prolongations of the bifilar mag- 
net, and at right angles to these, lines were drawn upon them, passing through the 
centre of the magnet,—one in the magnetic meridian, the other at right angles to 
it; several distances from the centre of the suspended magnet were marked off on 
each side with a beam compass; a similar structure was erected for the declinome- 
ter. The following observations were then made :— 

34. 1st, A cylindrical magnet, 3:65 inches long, was employed to deflect the bifilar 
and declinometer magnets; these two magnets are of the same dimensions, 15 inches 
long, and were obtained at the same time from the same maker. ‘The short de- 
flecting bar was placed at different distances to the east, and at the same distances 
to the west, of the bifilar bar, and the deflections of the bifilar were observed in 
scale divisions. Observations of deflection of the declinometer magnet were then 
obtained with the same deflector—the deflector, however, being placed at the same 
distances, as in the other case, to the north and south of the declinometer magnet : 
in both cases, the prolongation of the suspended bar, in its normal position, passes 
through the centre of the deflector. The results are obtained in the Ist portion 
of Table 3.

2d, The same deflecting bar was placed to the north and south of the bifilar 
magnet, and to the east and west of the declinometer magnet, the prolongation of 
the axis of the deflector in both cases passing through the centre of the suspended 
bar. The results are given in the 2d portion of Table 3. 

35. 3d, A large deflecting bar (15 inches long) was employed in the same manner 
as the small bar in the Ist instance. 

4th, The large deflecting bar was employed in the same manner as the small 
bar in the 2d case. 

36. In the 3d case, deflections of the bifilar could only be obtained to the E, and, 
in the 4th case, to the S of the bifilar magnet, owing to the proximity of the bifilar 
to the walls of the Observatory. It was easy, however, from the observations with 
the small bar to make the requisite corrections for the difference of deflection on 
the opposite sides: the correction is small. The results for the 3d and 4th cases are 
contained in the 3d and 4th portions of Table 3.

bar having been deflected through an angle (w — 0) as in Dr Lamonvt’s method, the 
variations of horizontal force were deduced from the scale readings, reduced to angu- 
lar measure by the formula 


AS = — cot (u— ) (Au — Ad) +q¢(t— t,) 


where w is the angle which the deflected magnet makes with the astronomical meri- 
dian (negative when to the east) and 6 is the westerly declination, a u being the are 
value of the change of reading, and a 6 the are value of the simultaneous change of 
declination obtained from the declinometer : g being the temperature coefficient of 
the deflecting bar (=0°00021), t the standard temperature of the deflecting bar, and 
¢ the temperature of observation. 

In May 1847, only three comparisons of the two instruments were obtained 
during a moderate magnetic disturbance ; the results are given as a specimen of the 
accuracy that may be expected from this method.

The mean of the two values of k=0-0001336. 


In August 1847, a series of comparative observations were made of the bifilar 
and a unifilar horizontal force magnetometer : these observations were made every 
hour for three days ; the results were grouped so as to obtain the greatest differences 
of readings for comparisons ; the mean angle of deflection of the unifilar (w—0) was 
equal to 65°. The final result of the whole groups was, that the changes of the uni- 
filar scale readings were to those of the bifilar scale readings as | to 0-974, the value 
of k for the unifilar being 0-0001389, therefore that of & for the bifilar = 00001353. 
The changes of horizontal force from which this result was deduced were small. 

38. The following, then, are the values of k, deduced by the five different pro- 
cesses above :—

In order to reduce the variations of the horizontal component given, pages 229 
to 238, in the volume for 1843, to their true values in parts of the whole horizontal 
component, they must be multiplied by the factor 1-316. 

41. The bifilar magnet was adjusted November 104 1843, when the angle v was 
found = 68° 18’, the bifilar scale reading 173. The angle v remained unaltered, 
excepting for short periods during disturbances, till January 1, 1846. (See No. 43.) 

42. During considerable disturbances the collimator scale, which contains too 
small an angle, goes out of the field of the reading telescope, it was found necessary 
in these cases to turn the arms of the torsion circle until it reappeared ; afterwards 
the arms of the torsion circle were turned to their original position : experiments 
were made in the end of 1842, during periods of slight change, which shewed, after 
turning the arms of the torsion circle a few degrees in either direction, that on re- 
curring to the original value of v, the scale readings were unaltered. If @ be the 
small angle through which the arms of the torsion circle are turned, 1 be the scale 
reading minus 170 (the adopted scale zero), then N, the number of scale divisions 
from the zero (corrected for temperature) for the same force when 8 = 0, is ob-

The arms of the torsion circle were turned at Dec. 44 24", to within 1’ of the 
original reading ; the observations from that time till January 1, 1846, have been 
corrected by — 1:0 sc. div. for this error of torsion circle reading. 

1846, January 1° 35°. On account of the readings of the bifilar approaching 
too near the top of the scale, the arms of the torsion circle were turned from 110° 16-5 
to 109° 31, or through 45"5, the angle v being changed from 68° 18’ to 69° 35. The 
constants for reducing the observations after January 1, 1846, to scale divisions of 
the same value as in 1844 and 1845, are 


1846. B= + 0°45°5 A= + 39°7 se. div. B = 0:967. 


These reductions have not been made, but the observations from January 0* 
13", 1846 to 1* 3" have been reduced by the quantities 


A = — 39°7 se. div. B = 1-033 


to the same scale values as the other observations in 1846, and in the abstracts the 
observations for 1846 have been rendered comparable with those for 1845 by the 
following process :—The scale reading immediately before turning the arms of the 
torsion circle was 218:7, therefore n = 48°7 sc. div.; and from the constants A and B 
and the previous formula, N = 9°3 sc. div., whence the readings after the adjustment, 
the horizontal force remaining constant, should have been 179°3, the temperature of 
the magnet being 40°-9, the tabular reading before adjustment (corrected for tempera- 
ture + 300) = 547-0, and the reading after adjustment (corrected for temperature 
+ 300) = 508°7; since these two readings are for the same value of the horizontal 
force and the zero for 1845 is taken in the abstracts of the results as 500, z the zero 
for 1846 will be obtained from the equation 


(547-0 — 500-0) 0:000140 = (508-7 — z) 0:000135 
whence z = 460:0. 


* In 1847, it was found more convenient during disturbances, to bring the scale of the bifilar 
magnet into the field of the reading telescope, by means of a small deflecting magnet placed on a 
beam of wood at known distances from the centre of the bifilar magnet. The effect of the deflecting 
magnet was afterwards determined with the aid of a second deflecting bar.

300 sc. div. being added to all the readings for 1845, 340 has been added to all 
those for 1846, and the same zero, 500, is applicable to both. 

44. The mean time of one vibration of the bifilar magnet, is between 26s and 27s : 
the natural are of vibration is generally very small, and when considerable, the time 
of vibration was found less than from large artificial vibrations.* 255 or 26s has been 
used in the observations for 1845 and 1846. 

45. The observations of the bifilar were made as follows: The point of the 
scale coinciding with the vertical wire of the fixed telescope is estimated to the 
tenth of a scale division at 258 before the minute of observation, at the minute, and 
25s after it; the three readings being a, b, and c, the mean is deduced from the 
a+2b+e 
aeT 
26° Fahr.,a constant quantity has been added to all the corrected means. If N be 
the observed mean, and ¢ be the observed temperature of the bifilar bar, the cor- 
rected means n, given in this volume, are obtained from the formule 


formula The mean thus obtained is corrected to the temperature of

1:90 and 1-975 being the temperature coefficients in scale divisions in 1845 and 1846 
respectively. 

The means fin parts of the whole horizontal force given in the abstracts of re- 
sults, are obtained by the formule

No correction has been applied for the effect of the balance magnet, which is 
constant. 


BALANCE OR VERTICAL ForcE MAGNETOMETER. 


46. The balance magnetometer was made by Rosinson of London ; it is com- 
posed of a magnetic needle cfc, 12 inches long, about # inch broad, and about 1 
inch thick, with knife-edged axle /, which rests upon agate planes ; brass rings ¢ ¢ are 
attached to the extremities of the needle, each ring carrying a cross of spider threads. 
The needle is placed at right angles to the plane of the magnetic meridian, it is ac- 
curately adjusted to horizontality by a screw e which balances the needle, another 
screw d working vertically, regulates its sensibility. The apparatus, and a ther- 
mometer h which gives the temperature of the needle, is covered by a rectangular 
box k having glazed openings on both sides opposite the spider crosses ; those on one 
side allowing light to be thrown on the crosses from two small mirrors, (one of which

of the slab is indicated by a level n, the lower edge of the rectangular box is covered

gilt-paper internally and externally.

The needle being in its usual position on the agate planes, the moveable wire 
of the left micrometer is made to bisect the spider-cross ; the needle is then vibrated 
by means of asmall piece of steel, through an angle of about 40 micrometer divi- 
sions or 4’, and the periods of the cross passing the wire, are estimated to a tenth of a 
second (See Table 12, Introd. 1843, p. xxxix.) The are of vibration at the com- 
mencement was measured by means of the right micrometer, it was usually taken 
very small on account of the difference in the times of vibration with difference of 
are (afterwards noticed, 54), although it is now certain that large arcs of vibration 
give a time which satisfies better the previous equation and the true coefficient of 
the instrument.

48. 1st, It has been concluded from Table 5, Introduction 1844, that after the 
needle has been vibrated by any means through a large arc, its time of vibration 
has been increased ; this will be apparent from the observations of vibration be- 
fore and after April 304 74, July 244 184, July 264 31, November 54, and November 
84 215, 1844. On all these occasions the needle was vibrated through large arcs, 
either from the accidental approach of iron, or from the removal of the box for a 
short period.* 

49. 2d, It is obvious, from the observations for 1844, 1845, and 1846, that 
the time of vibration depends upon the temperature of the needle, a change of +1° 
of temperature causing a change of from + 05-05 to 0510 in the time of one vibration. 


* See Transactions of the Royal Society, Edinburgh, vol. xvi., p. 69, Table I. 


BALANCE OR VERTICAL FoRCE MAGNETOMETER. XXXVI 


The amount of change in the time of vibration, for 1° of temperature can only be 
determined from the changes within short periods, since, 

50. 3d, The time of vibration diminishes with time. The balance needle was 
adjusted, Jan. 272 1844, the times of vibration after the adjustment were

The temperature of the needle is nearly the same in these cases ; it appears, 
therefore, that the time of vibration has diminished fully two seconds in the first ten 
months. This diminution is altogether independent of any variation in the magnetic 
moment of the needle, since the time of vibration in a horizontal plane remains nearly 
constant. From the beginning of 1844, to the end of 1845, the mean position of the 
needle had varied about 300 micrometer divisions. Since the position of the needle 
also varies with temperature, it does not at first appear improbable that the variation 
in the time of vibration is due to the varying position alone. Increasing tempera- 
ture at the same time raises the north end of the needle and increases the time of 
vibration ; from the beginning of 1844 till 1846, however, the north end of the 
needle has been rising, while the time of vibration has been diminishing. It is pro- 
bable from this, and certain from other observations, that the time of vibration is 
nearly constant for any angle which the magnetic axis of the balance needle makes 
with the horizontal. During a considerable magnetic disturbance, April 174 1844, 
observations of vibration were obtained for positions of the balance needle varying 
400 micrometer divisions, yet the observed time of vibration only varied four-tenths 
of a second, and that not directly with the inclination of the needle, but from errors of 
observation and variation of temperature. Such a variation of position, if due to 
temperature alone, would have required a change of 50° Fahr., which would have 
produced a change of about 3*°8, in the time of vibration.* 

51. In order to determine more distinctly whether change of inclination of the 
magnetic axis affected the time of vibration to any considerable extent, the follow- 
ing observations were made during an adjustment of the instrument.

52. These results are very consistent, and speak much in favour of the excel- 
lence of the knife edges of the axle. It is quite certain, therefore, that the varia- 
tions in the time of vibration observed in 1844, 1845, and 1846, were not due to the 
varying position of the needle, since all the observations from 1844 till 1846 were 
obtained from the needle when in positions varying lessthan 400 micrometer divisions. 

53. As it was believed, that during considerable disturbances when the hori- 
zontal component of the earth’s magnetism increased considerably, the north end of 
the needle might be drawn slightly out of its position at right angles to the mag- 
netic meridian, the following observations were made to determine whether such a 
result would affect the time of vibration. 

January 14¢ 1848. The balance needle being placed on its agate planes with its 
magnetic axis at right angles to the magnetic meridian, the following observation 
was made ; position of needle, micrometer reading + 180. 


Are of vibration at commencement 84. Time of one vibration 115-27. 
Needle vibrated excessively by a pair of magnetic SCISSOTS.

Brought a 4-inch deflecting magnet close to the side of the balance box near 
the west extremity, in order to draw the needle out of the plane at right angles to 
the magnetic meridian; after considerable vibration, always checked by changing 
the position of the duflectur; the following observation was made : 

Are of vibration at commencement 30. Time of one vibration 11s-28. 


Performed the same operation with the deflector, and again observed, 


Arc of vibration at commencement 8:0. Time of one vibration 11:12. 


Now litted the needle by the Ys, lowered it, and observed the time of vibration 
with a large are. 


Are of vibration at commencement 100’-0. Time of one vibration 11:-27. 


BALANCE OR VERTICAL FoRCE MAGNETOMETER. XXX1X 


Again vibrated the needle by means of the deflector placed at the side of the 
needle near its east extremity, so as to displace the needle from the plane at right 
angles to the magnetic meridian, and observed time of vibration, 


Are of vibration at commencement 90’:0. Time of one vibration 115-29. 


None of these operations seemed to alter the time of vibration to any distinct 
amount ; the box was accordingly lifted off, and the needle was placed about 3° out 
of the plane at right angles to the magnetic meridian, the north pole (2.2. west ex- 
tremity) being moved towards the north, the following observation was then made : 


Are of vibration at commencement 9"0. Time of one vibration 105'58. 


Although the time of vibration in this position differs somewhat from that in 
the normal position, the previous observations prove that any deviations due to 
natural changes of force, would be insufficient to cause the differences evident in 
the Tables for 1844, 1845, and 1846. 

54. 4th, It was found in 1844 and 1845, that the time of vibration depended 
greatly upon the are of vibration, the time being greatest for large arcs. (See 
Trans. Roy. Soc. Ed., vol. xvi., p. 70, Table IT.) 

55. It is difficult, if not impossible, to offer any explanation of the anomalies 
in the time of vibration noted above, the knife-edged axle is a fruitful resource in 
instruments of this class, for the explanation of all difficulties. In this case, the 
needle is by the best maker (RoBiNsoN) ; when examined by a lens, the knife edge 
appears perfect, and finally, the anomalies disappear at certain times without any 
apparent difference in the state of the instrument ; thus, in the observations already 
given, Jan. 14, 1848, the time of vibration for an arc of 3’ is exactly the same as 
for an are of 100’; the observations also for the time of vibration with the needle 
differently inclined to the horizontal (Jan. 18, 1848), speak distinctly in favour of 
the excellence of the knife edges. It should also be remarked, that previously to 
the adjustment, Jan. 27, 1844, the curious effect of temperature upon the time of 
vibration was scarcely exhibited ; and it may be added, that in eight months since the 
needle has been adjusted with its axis in the magnetic meridian, the time of vibra- 
tion appears to remain nearly constant and equally independent of temperature and 
are of vibration. 

56. It appears certain from these results, obtained from an instrument of the 
best character, treated with the greatest care, that the time of vibration in a vertical 
plane cannot be depended on as an element in the reduction of the observations of 
the balance magnetometer.. 

57. The question still remains, to what extent these anomalies in the time of 
vibration affect the observations for the varying vertical component of the magnetic 
force? The following fact appears to render it certain that they have no effect 
whatever. In determining, by the method of comparisons (see pages xlviii. and xlix.), 
the effect of achange of 1° Fahr. upon the position of the needle, it has been found 


xl INTRODUCTION TO THE MAKERSTOUN OBSERVATIONS, 1845 AND 1846. 


that this effect is nearly constant, while the time of vibration in the vertical plane 
has varied from upwards of 11 seconds in 1843, to less than 6 seconds in 1846 
(No. 77, 3d); the differences of the results for the temperature coefficient being in 
all probability due to considerable changes of vertical force in the periods selected 
for the determinations, and certainly having no relation whatever to the varying 
time of vibration. Since the temperature coefficient in micrometer divisions (q’) 
has remained constant, it follows that the coefficient of reduction (k) must also be 
constant. This conclusion renders it the more desirable that the value of the angu- 
lar motion of the needle in parts of the vertical component should be determined by 
another method which does not involve the time of vibration; the statical method 
already described for the bifilar magnetometer, has been employed for this purpose 
with some modification. 

58. January 6, 1848. Wooden beams having been placed horizontally at right 
angles to the magnetic meridian, and a line having been drawn upon them, which 
was a projection of the prolongations of the balance needle, a small deflecting bar 
(3°65 inch long, and having a temperature coefficient = 0-000285), was placed verti- 
cally at different distances on the beam, and the angles of deflection of the needle 
were observed ; the centre of the deflecting bar was in the prolongation of the axis 
of the balance needle when horizontal, and the distances were measured from the 
knife edges of the axle, which, however, was found not to be the centre of magnetism 
of the needle. The resulting deflections and values of & for each distance will be 
found Table 5. 

January 10, 1848, the balance needle was taken out of its box, and attached to 
the brass detorsion bar of the declinometer ; the brass bar was mounted with a glass 
scale and lens, and was suspended in the declinometer box ; the balance needle was 
then deflected by the bar used for the previous deflections, which was placed to the 
north and south of the suspended needle, so that in both series of deflections the 
prolongation of the balance needle in its normal position passed through the centre 
of the deflecting bar. The deflections for three distances are given, Table 6.

The mean of all the values of k, 13th column, Table 5 = 0-00000994. 

60. When the vertical deflections of the balance needle made July 14 and 2¢ 
1846, are compared by the previous method, with the horizontal deflections of the 
same needle, given Table 6, allowance being made for the loss of magnetism of the 
deflecting bar between July 1846 and January 1848, & is found = 0-00001025. 


The adopted value of & for the balance magnet =0-0000100 


This value of one micrometer division in parts of the whole vertical component 
may be considered applicable to all the observations of the balance magnet since 
1841: it has been used in the abstracts of results for the present volume, 

61. The balance needle was deflected July 1 and 2, 1846, for the purpose of de- 
termining the value of k, it was readjusted on July 24. 

As the readings of the micrometer had become previously too much negative, 
the horizontal screw was turned in a little, the following comparisons of observations 
before and after the adjustment were made for the purpose of oa the two

The observations after July 24 are reduced to those before that date by the 
above quantity. 

62. The observations of the balance magnetometer are made in the following 
manner :—The moveable wire of the right micrometer is made to bisect the spider- 
cross half the time of vibration in the vertical plane before the minute of observation, 
and that of the left micrometer as long after the minute; the mean of the two read- 
ings gives the position of the needle at the minute. The readings increase posi- 
tively when the north pole of the needle moves below the horizontal. The tabular 
observations given, in this column, are obtained thus: n being the observed reading 
of the needle (generally negative), ¢ that of the thermometer, giving the temperature 
of the needle, g’ the temperature coefficient in micrometer divisions = 7:90, and R

63. The temperature coefficient of the large deflecting bar (15 inches long), used 
in the observations for the absolute horizontal intensity, was determined November 
11, 1843, by hot and cold water experiments, see pages xlu. and xlii., Introduction 
1843, for the details: the mean of all the observations gave 


The correction for 1° of Fahr., 7 = 0-000288 


64. The observations from which this result was obtained were very good, con- 
sidering that the whole angle of deflection was less than 3°, and it may therefore be 
worth examining the individual results for the highest and lowest temperature. The 
whole number of results was 15, the mean difference, from the final result given 
above, =0°000025, and the probable error of a single result was therefore about 
0:000021. 


The mean of 9 results for the mean temperature 49°°7 gave g = 0:000289 
The mean GPG: ......0.6....-+.4 OE ie ote Gone hagee g = 0:000286 


so that the temperature coefficient for this bar is constant within the ordinary tem- 
peratures occurring during the observations in which it was employed. 


xliv INTRODUCTION TO THE MAKERSTOUN OBSERVATIONS, 1845 AND 1846. 


Bifilar Magnet. 


65. The temperature coefficient for this magnet was also determined by means 
of hot and cold water experiments, Nov. 9 and 10, 1843. See page xli., Introduc- 
tion, 1841-2, for the details. The whole number of results was 30: the mean gave 


The correction for 1° Fahr., Q = 0:000294. 


66. If the 27th and 28th results (counting from the top of the last column of 
Table 19, p. xli., Introduction, 1841-2) be rejected, as it is believed that the great 
difference of both from the mean was probably due to one error in reading, we find 
the average difference of the 28 results from the mean = 0-000021, and the probable 
error of a single result was therefore about 0-000017. | Combining the results from 
high temperatures together, and similarly for those from low temperatures, we find

so that for the bifilar magnet, also, the temperature coefficient is constant within the 
ordinary temperatures of 32° to 80° Fahr. 

67. The correction for the expansion of the silver wires and brass grooved 
wheel, =0°000010, being added to the value of Q above, we have 


The temperature correction for 1° Fahr., from hot and cold water experiments, g = 0:000304. 


68. As the observations in connection with the balance needle had shewn that 
there might exist variations due to temperature, other than those due to the varia- 
tion of the magnetic moment of the magnet, such as the varying elasticity of the 
suspending wire of the bifilar magnet, the temperature coefficient was determined 
in the following manner, which had at first been found to give consistent results for 
the balance needle. 

69. A series of days being selected in which the magnetic irregularities are 
small, and in which the variations of temperature are as considerable as possible, if 
we compare the mean instrumental readings for any two days, and if a R be the 
difference in scale divisions, this difference is due to change of temperature of the 
magnet, and to change of the horizontal component of the earth’s magnetism, let the 
portion of change of reading due to the former = A, and to the latter = a X, so that

tive as negative, and, therefore that the numerator will nearly vanish, the last mem- 
ber may be neglected in the determination of gq’, and this with the more accuracy 
the larger the sum of the differences of temperature = 4 ¢. Again, if the differences 
for which a ¢ is negative are summed, we shall have

The sign of the first member on the right remains as before, since a R also 
changes sign. Reasoning as in the previous case, 3 a X may be supposed nearly 
zero, and the last member of the equation negligible. If, however, the supposition 
that the sign of A X varies positively and negatively with reference to the sign of 
A t be inaccurate, it must be supposed either that the horizontal component remains 
constant, and therefore, that A X = 0, or that it varies in one direction only, in- 
creasing continuously, or diminishing continuously, throughout the period selected, 
and, therefore, that the sign of 4 X is the same for both equations. In the latter 
case, it is evident that by taking the mean of the values of ¢’ from the two equations, 
the last members will nearly destroy each other. It has been supposed that the 
variations of X are altogether independent of the variations of the temperature, a 
supposition which is borne out by every method of examination of the results. The 
details of aseries of comparisons are given, pages li., lii., and lii., Introduction, 1843, 
from these it appears :

when A f is positive, and vice versa. The sign of A tis used as the argument, so that if A R be 
positive when A ¢ is positive, that value of A R will be subtracted from the sum of differences 3 A R.

sons have been obtained, whether it has been obtained from comparisons of daily 
means, at 1, or 2, or 3, . . . . or 14 days’ interval. 

71. 2d, That the value of g’ is the same, whether the differences of temperature 
have been due to natural or artificial causes, and when the differences of temperature 
of the magnet have had an opposite sign from those for the temperature of the ex- 
ternal air. 

72. From the second result, it follows, that the variations of the horizontal 
component of the earth’s magnetism are wholly independent of the temperature of 
the air, and from both results it appears probable that they are imdepereeay of the 
temperature of the soil.* 

73. The following Table contains the sums of differences of the daily mean 
temperature of the bifilar magnet, and the value of ¢ which has resulted from each 
series of comparisons. The series of comparisons for 1845 have been made since 
the publication of the series for 1844, for the purpose of verifying the constancy of 
the result.

Whether the results for each year have equal weights, or have weights depend- 
ing on the sums of differences of the daily mean temperatures (2 A ¢), we find 


g = 1:93 se. div.

The value of one scale division in parts of force for the period of comparisons 
(1844 and 1845), being & = 0:000140. 


Whence, the correction for 1° Fahr., from comparisons of observations, is g = 0:000266.

74. The result from hot and cold water experiments is nearly } more. It ap- 


pears, therefore, that the determination of the temperature coefficient, by removing 
the magnet from its position in the instrument and varying its temperature by means 
of hot and cold water, cannot be depended on. It appears also, that when a sufh- 
cient number of observations is included, the method of comparison previously de- 
scribed gives, under very different conditions, consistent, and, therefore, it is pro- 
bable, accurate results.* 


Balance Magnet. 


75. The temperature coefficient of the balance magnet was determined by means 
of hot and cold water experiments August 24, September 1 and 2, and November 
13, 1843, and January 27, 1844. See pages xlii., xlil., and xliv., Introduction, 1841-2, 
for the details. The mean of the whole observations, properly weighted, gave 


q = 0:000073. 


76. The only good series was that obtained January 27, 1844, which included 
changes of temperature from 35° to 65° only ; the other series are too inaccurate to 
be employed for the determination of the value of q for high and low temperatures ; 
from series of comparisons of the usual observations of the balance it has been 
found, however, that the value of gq’, the temperature correction for 1° Fahr. in mi- 
crometer divisions, is the same for high and low temperatures, thus—

As the first result is the mean of 7 values of q’, obtained from comparisons of 
the mean readings of the balance magnetometer for about 170 days, in the months 
of January, February, November, and December 1844 and 1845; and as the second 
result is the mean of 8 values of q’, obtained from comparisons of the mean readings 
of the balance magnetometer upon about 190 days in the months of May, June, July, 
August, and September 1844 and 1845 ; it is extremely probable that the tempera- 
ture coefficient for the balance magnetometer is constant for the ordinary tempera- 
tures of observation. 

77. As it was found impossible to determine & the value of one micrometer 
division in parts of the whole vertical component, by means of the vertical vibra- 
tions, the value of g obtained from hot and cold water experiments could not be em- 
ployed, since the observations could not be reduced to parts of vertical force, nor 
could the value of g be reduced to micrometer divisions. In consequence of this 


* It should be remarked, that these conclusions do not depend wholly upon the results for the 


Makerstoun instruments, their accuracy has been verified by an examination of the observations made 
in other places.

difficulty, the method already described for the bifilar magnetometer was first em- 
ployed for the determination of g’ the temperature coefficient in micrometer divi- 
sions: the details of several of these comparisons will be found, pages xlv., xlvi., 
xlvii., xlvili., and xlix., Introduction, 1843. It was found from these comparisons, 

lst, That the value of ¢’, when a sufficient number of comparisons had been 
obtained, was independent of the interval between the days compared. 

2d, That the value of g’ remained the same after various adjustments of the 
needle ; the vertical screw for adjusting the sensibility never having been touched. 

3d, That the value of g’ has remained constant while the time of vibration ina 
vertical plane has varied from upwards of 11° to less than 6°; from which result it 
has been concluded that the value of & also has been constant. 

4th, That the value of q’ is the same, whether the differences of temperature of 
the magnet have been due to natural or artificial causes, and whether the differ- 
ences of temperature of the magnet have had the same sign or an opposite sign from 
those of the temperature of the air. 

78. From the 1st and 4th conclusions, it follows that the variations of the ver- 
tical component of the earth’s magnetism are independent of the temperature of the 
air and of the temperature of the soil.* 

79. The mean of all the results in the volume for 1843, Introduction, pages 
xlvi. and xlviii., gave 

g = 7:90 micrometer divisions ; 


and adopting the value of &, obtained from deflections, No. 59, 
q = 0:000079. 


Which result is only d more than that obtained from the hot and cold water ex- 


periments : it appears in the case of the Makerstoun instrument that the errors of 
the usual methods are found chiefly in the determination of & ; this, however, is not 
always the case. 

The observations for 1843, 1844, 1845, and 1846, in micrometer divisions, have 
been corrected by the value 


g = 7:90 micrometer divisions. 


80. Since this value was obtained, several other determinations have been made, 
by comparisons of observations in 1844, 1845, and 1846; all the results obtained are 
given in the Table below ; several of the results obtained more lately have been de- 
duced from periods ill fitted to give a good value; the whole, however, have been 
given in order to shew the amount of error that may be expected in using bad series. 
In one or two of these cases the amount of disturbance has not been very consider- 
able, but the greatest variations of the daily mean vertical force have happened to

occur at the same time with the greatest variations of mean temperature ; it is 
believed that it is to this cause chiefly that the differences of the results are to be 
attributed.

Giving the differences for all the series equal values, and dividing the sums of 
differences of the daily means in micrometer divisions by the sums of differences of 
the daily mean temperatures of the needle, we have 

g = 8:23 mic. div. ; 
but if the results from the bad series for July 7—August 6, 1845, and December 
10, 1845—January 10, 1846, be rejected, the value would be 

g = /09 mie: div: 

If the whole series were properly weighted, it is believed that the resulting value 
of qg would be less than 8:00 mic. div. The excellent series, November 30—De- 
cember 26, 1846 (after an adjustment July 1846) gives 

g = 7°12 mic. div. 

The adopted value of the temperature coefficient for the balance magnet = 7:90 mic. div. 
It is believed that this value, which has been used in correcting all the observations 
since the commencement of 1843, is within one-tenth of a division of the truth. 

81. The following matters should be attended to in determining the tempera- 
ture coefficient by the previous method. 

1st, The period selected should be free from considerable magnetic irregularities. 

2d, There should be a considerable change of daily mean temperature, the tem- 
perature at the beginning and end of the period being nearly the same. 

3d, The smaller the duration of the period consistently with the 2d the better. 


4th, It will be found best, in general, to correct the daily means at first by an 
approximate coefficient, and

5th, To eliminate the secular change approximately, if it be considerable. 
Both the latter methods were employed in many of the determinations given in 
Table 9. 
INCLINOMETER. 


82. The dip instrument was made by the late Mr Roprnson of London. The 
vertical circle is 92 inches in diameter ; it is divided to 10’, the graduations counting 
from 0° on the horizontal to 90° on the vertical; 17 is estimated with the aid of 
lenses attached to a glazed case ; the vertical circle turns with a copper framework 
on a vertical axis, centred in a horizontal circle ; the latter is 6 inches in diameter, 
is divided to 30’ and is read to 1’ by means of a vernier. A sliding framework 
carrying Ys moves within that bearing the agate planes on which the axle of the 
needle rests; the Ys serve to lift and lower the needle on the agates, but they have 
been found to act very irregularly, at times giving the needle a pitch in a certain 
direction. A level screwed to the basement plate indicates the horizontality of the 
agates ; this was, however, also verified occasionally by means of a small level placed 
upon them; it was found that the level varied according as the door of the case 
inclosing the instrument was shut or open; it was, therefore, always tested with 
the door shut, as it is during observations. The reading of the horizontal circle, 
when the vertical circle is in the magnetic meridian, was obtained with the aid of 
a horizontal needle, carried on a pivot whose arms rest on the agate planes. There 
are two dipping needles, numbered 1 and 2, and one end of each needle is marked 
A, the other end is marked B; all the marks are on one face of each needle. The 
needle is observed in four positions with one end dipping, namely, with the marked 
face of the needle on the same side as, and opposite to, the graduated face of the 
circle, the latter being in the meridian, first to the east, and then to the west; as 
each extremity of the needle is observed, there are thus eight readings obtained. 
The poles being changed, and the other end dipping, other eight readings are similarly 
obtained. The means of the two readings for each position are given in this volume. 
In changing the poles, the needle was placed on a small wooden block having 
a hole to receive the axle; it then received eight strokes on each face (as in the 
method of double touch) from two magnets, each 9 inches long, 3 inch broad. 

The inclinometer occupied a strong wooden pillar in the intensity house uncon- 
nected with the floor. ” 

83. Observations were made on April 18 and May 2, 1843, in different azi- 
muths, in order to determine the correction due to the irregularity of the needle’s 
axle, or perhaps to the presence of iron in the vertical circle ; these observations 
have been already given (Table 21 and Table 22, Introduction, 1841-2.) The cor- 
rection deduced was about — 11’ for needle No. 1. A short series of similar obser- 
vations was made, May 10, 1845, the details of which will be found among the other 
observations ; the following values of the magnetic dip are deduced from the incli- 
nations 7 and 2’ of needle No. 2, observed in two planes at right angles to each other, 
by the formula

The dip from the observations in the magnetic meridian differs considerably 
from the values of @ obtained from the observations in other planes ; the latter agree 
pretty well with those deduced from needle No. 1, April 18, 1843 (Introduction, 
1841-42, Table 22, first series.) This coincidence of the results from two needles 
seems to place the source of error in the metal of the instrument, rather than in the 
axles of the needles. 

March 31, 1846. The vertical circle of the inclinometcr was removed from 
the instrument and placed horizontally, the dip needle, No. 1, was suspended by a 
silk fibre within the circle, the needle and circle being in the same plane, the needle 
was then vibrated horizontally, the zero of the graduations being placed in different 
azimuths ; taking the zero on the right of the horizontal diameter (the circle being 
in its usual vertical position) as the commencement of the graduations, and counting 
downwards and onwards to 360, the following are the means for different positions 
of about 80 vibrations (commencing with a semiarc of 18°, and ending with a semiare 
of 6°) :-—

The time of vibration varies little with the exception of that for the first posi- 
tion ; the last two means are for positions occupied by the needle in the observations 
of inclination, given above. 

84. The true dip, and the cause of the differences in different azimuths, is still 
a question. No correction has been applied to the observations in this volume. The 
difficulties noticed in connection with the lifter in the Introduction for 1843 were 
experienced more or less in 1845 and 1846, but considerably less than in 1844.* 


* Observations were made in the following manner for the determination of the magnetic dip 
in February 1846. The dipping needle having been placed on its supports in the inclinometer, it was 
defiected by a magnet placed at known distances, in order to determine the ratio of the magnetic 
moment of the deflecting bar to the vertical component of the earth’s magnetism ; the moment of the 
bar was obtained from observations of deflection and vibration for the absolute horizontal intensity, 
whence the vertical component could be determined, and the dip from the ratio of the two com- 
ponents. The advantage of this method over others, consists in the capability of using a powerful 
deflecting bar whose moment can be determined with the accuracy of the observations for the hori- 


zontal intensity,

BAROMETER. 


85. The barometer is by NEwMAN. The tube is 0°552 inch in diameter; the 
scale is attached to a brass rod, terminating in an ivory point, which at each ob- 
servation is moved by means of an endless screw till it meets its image in the mer- 
cury of the cistern; the cistern is about 3 inches in diameter ; the vernier professes 
to read to 0:002 inch, and that 0-001 inch may be estimated, but the graduation is 
so inexact as to give changes in error from 0-002 to 0-003 inch, when the reading is 
made alternately at the two extremities of the vernier. 

86. In 1841, the barometer was compared indirectly with the standard baro- 
meters of the Royal Society of London, by means of one made by NEwmaw for the 
Due of ARGYLE. The comparisons of the DuKE of ARGYLE’s barometer with the 
readings from the flint and crown glass tubes of the Royal Society (both tubes being 
connected with the same cistern) are given, Table 23, Introduction, 1841-2. They 
are not consistent. A consistent series of comparisons of the Makerstoun barometer 
with the DuxE of ARGYLE’s is given, Table 24, Introduction, 1841-2. The results 
of these comparisons are

by TRouGuHToON, marked B, belonging to Sir THoMAs BRISBANE, with the flint-glass 
barometer of the Royal Society of London. The same barometer (TRouGHTon B) 
was a few days afterwards compared by myself with the Makerstoun standard baro- 
meter: these comparisons are given, Tables 10 and 11.

The comparisons in 1841 and 1847, therefore, differ only one-thousandth of an

88. All the observations of the Makerstoun standard barometer are corrected 
by—0-012 inch to the mean of the Royal Society’s flint and crown glass barometers ; 
they are also corrected for temperature to 32° Fahr., by ScHUMACHER’S Tables, given 
in the Report of the Committee of Physics of the Royal Society of London. The 
cistern of the barometer is 213 feet above the mean level of the sea at Berwick-upon- 
Tweed. 


THERMOMETERS. 


89. The dry and wet bulb thermometers aa are by ADIE and Son. The bulbs 
bb are 0°3 inch in diameter, and tenths of a degree can be estimated with accuracy 
on the scales aa; the thermometers are attached to a wooden slab c, fixed to the 


MAG. AND MET. OBS. 1845 AND 1846. 0 


liv INTRODUCTION TO THE MAKERSTOUN OBSERVATIONS, 1845 AnD 1846. 


moveable front d of the wooden case, 4 feet above the soil ; the bulbs project below 
the wooden slab c, and as holes are cut in the wooden case behind them, they are 
exposed to freely-circulating air. The wooden 
case, which has slightly-projecting top and sides 
at the front, and a double sloping back, revolves 
on a post f, and can be turned from within the 
Observatory by means of cords and pulleys g g. 
When an observation is made, the case is turned 
till the thermometers face the window h, being 
9 inches distant from it ; after reading, which is 
done through the glass (thus avoiding any error 
due to proximity of the observer, or the light at 
night), the case is again turned with the back 
towards the window, or towards the wind if it 
rain. It was found early in the summer of 1843, 
that in spite of the precaution of turning the back of the case towards the sun 
before 7" A.M. and after 5" p.M., if the sun shined brightly, the temperature indi- 
cated by the thermometer was visibly increased. In all such cases, therefore, the 
moveable front d was lifted off the case and suspended in the shade, at an equal 
height from the soil, on the west or east wall of the Observatory, being kept apart 
from it by projecting knobs. Observations at different times shewed, that, all 
other things being equal, the temperature was the same in all the three positions, 
but when the sun shined on the case, it might be one or two degrees less to the east 
or west than to the north. The observations made to the east or west are indicated 
in the column of differences by a cross, thus }, for the first observation after re-

the thermometers on the case. 


90. It sometimes happens, when the air is very humid, during frost, and on 
clear nights, especially when the temperature is falling, that the dry bulb thermo- 
meter reads less than the wet bulb ;* when such is the case, the difference of the 
readings of the two thermometers has not been given, and in the summations for 


* This apparent anomaly in frosty nights, it is conceived, is due to the deposition of moisture 
on the silk cover of the wet bulb, which is frozen as it is deposited, till it becomes a thickish coat 
of silk and ice; the dry bulb receives, at the same time, a thin coat of moisture, and becomes a 
more facile wet bulb, In clear, humid nights, without frost, nearly the same explanation will apply ; 
the dry bulb will radiate its heat into space with more facility than the wet bulb. It might be 
preferable, therefore, on these occasions, to make use of the readings of the wet bulb for the tem- 
perature of the air, and of the readings of the dry bulb for the temperature of evaporation during 
frosty nights; where, however, the differences of the readings may be considered due chiefly to the 
different radiating powers of the two bulbs, the readings, perhaps, should be considered the same ; 
this has been done in all cases in the present volume.

the abstracts of results, the reading of the wet bulb has been considered the same 
as that of the dry bulb. 

91. In January 1843, a series of comparisons of different thermometers, in water 
of different temperatures, was made with a standard thermometer by Newman: 
the results are given in the Introduction for 1843, Table 23, p. lvu. The readings 
of the standard, and the dry and wet bulb thermometers, in a mixture of pounded 
ice and water, at the time of the comparisons in 1843, and in 1845 and 1846, are as 
follow :— :

It appears, therefore, that the index errors of the dry bulb thermometer were 
about two-tenths of a degree greater in 1845 and 1846 than in 1843, and the index 
errors of the wet bulb, about one-tenth of a degree greater; making allowance for 
this change in Table 23, Introduction for 1843, we obtain

On December 18, 1846, the standard and dry and wet bulb thermometers were 
compared in water :— 


Standard, 58°8. Dry bulb, 59°-3. Wet bulb, 59°1. 


Correcting the standard reading for its index error of 0°-1, the corrections for 
the other thermometers near 60° are 


Dry bulb — 0°°6. Wet bulb — 0°4. 


The following corrections were obtained from comparisons with the standard in 
the external atmosphere :— 


1845. Jan. 30, The correction for the dry bulb thermometer at a temperature of 1°-5= —0°3. 
1846. June 3. The correction for the dry bulb thermometer at a temperature of 82°5= — 0:15. 


lvi INTRODUCTION TO THE MAKERSTOUN OBSERVATIONS, 1845 anp 1846. 


The observations of the dry and wet bulb thermometers, given in this volume 
are not corrected for the errors of the thermometers ; but the corrections have been 
applied to the abstracts of results. 

92. The maximum and minimum self-registering thermometers, on RUTHER- 
FORD’s construction, were made by ADIE and Son; they were attached to a frame 
fixed to the north side of the Observatory, about three feet from the ground, and 
near the dry and wet bulb thermometers. A self-registering mercurial thermome- 
ter, with a black bulb, by R. Aprz, of Liverpool, was placed, in the end of May 
1844, within the enclosed space occupied by the Observatory rain-gauge, exposed 
to the sun, for the purpose of obtaining the maximum amount of solar radiation ; 
another self-registering alcohol thermometer, with black bulb, by the same maker, 
was placed near the other in September 1844, with its bulb in the focus of a para- 
bolic metallic reflector, for the purpose of obtaining the minimum of terrestrial 
radiation. The observations of the self-registering thermometers have all been cor- 
rected for the scale errors of the thermometers. The observations of the minimum 
thermometer for the temperature in the shade are apparently in all cases from 1° to 
2° less than the lowest temperature indicated by the dry bulb thermometer; the 
difference, it is believed, is due to the greater exposure of the minimum thermo- 
meter to radiation and deposition of dew. 

93. Another thermometer was employed for the determination of the tempera- 
ture of the water in two pump-wells, which are within about 200 yards of each 
other ; the pumps are nearly on the same surface-level, the depth of the cottage- 
well being 10 feet,—that of the garden-well 21 feet. On one occasion, it was found 
that there was one foot of water in the cottage-well, and two feet of water in the 
garden-well. In obtaining the temperature, the water was pumped till the reading 
of the thermometer remained constant. All the observations have been corrected 
for the scale error of the thermometer used. 


ACTINOMETER. 


94. The actinometer was made by STEVENSON of Edinburgh; it consists of a 
hollow cylinder of glass filled with ammonio-sulphate of copper. One extremity of 
the cylinder is joined to a thermometer tube, terminating in a hollow bulb; the 
other extremity is cemented to a metallic cap, through which a screw, working in a 
collar of leather, passes into the cylinder; a scale of 100 divisions is attached to 
the thermometer tube; the cylinder and thermometer tube were inclosed in a maho- 
gany box, open at one side; the compartment containing the cylinder filled with 
the blue liquid is lined with black velvet, and is covered by a slip of plate- 
glass. The dimensions were as follow:—Glass cylinder, 54 inches long; mean 
external diameter, about 1:05 inch; the mercury, filling four inches of the thermo- 
meter tube, weighed 16-7 grains; the length of 100 divisions of the scale are equal 


ACTINOMETER. lv 


to 5°51 inches. The cylinder of this instrument was destroyed in the winter of 
1846-7, by the freezing of the liquid. The previous dimensions of the cylinder 
belonging to the actinometer, from June 1844 till February 1847, are considered 
‘to be very near the truth; they are, however, only given from the dimensions of 
the cylinder in the actinometer at present, which is of the same size. The ac- 
tinometer was placed in a small revolving frame during observations after June 
1844, by means of which the face of the actinonieter was always presented to the 
perpendicular incidence of the sun’s rays; at the end of the same table upon which 
the revolving frame was placed, a double wooden screen was hung by cords passing 
over pulleys; the instrument could be shaded or exposed to the sun by the observer 
instantaneously. 

95. In making an observation, the cylinder was exposed to the sun’s rays at 
a perpendicular incidence for 60 seconds, the scale readings of the fluid in the tube 
being observed at the beginning and end of the minute. A screen was then inter- 
posed for one minute, or for one minute and a half; if for one minute only, the last 
observation in the sun was also noted as the first in the shade ; if for one minute and 
a half, the first reading in the shade was not made till the instrument was shaded 
half a minute. At the end of 60 seconds the scale reading was again observed, and 
the screen was removed, that reading being also noted as the first in the sun. When 
the liquid mounted near the top of the thermometer tube, the screw was withdrawn 
nearly half a revolution, when the liquid fell to near the bottom of the tube. The 
times were noted from a box-chronometer by Dent, No. 1665. 

96. The following are the results of series of observations for the amount of 


heat stopped by the plate-glass, marked A, used in the instrument after June 
1844 :—

Giving the last result two values, we find, from both determinations,

97. Besides the breaking of the cylinders by the freezing of the liquid, the 
instrument has been rendered useless for good experiments several times by the 
deposition of a brownish oily sediment, which finds its way into the thermometer 
tube, and this though the liquid had been long prepared by the maker. When this 
deposition of sediment occurred, the instrument was sent to the maker to be 
cleaned ; the observations, therefore, in this volume, are nearly unaffected by it. 


RAIN-GAUGES. 


98. The Observatory rain-guage is placed in a space, enclosed by a paling on 
the top of the Observatory hill, with a good exposure on all sides. The funnel-mouth 
is 6:1 inches in diameter, 8 inches above the soil, and 218 feet above the level of 
the sea. The quantity of rain is measured at noon by pouring it into a glass tube, 
graduated with reference to the aperture of the funnel. 

99. The monthly results of two other gauges are given in the abstracts. One 
is placed on the top of the greenhouse roof, 680 feet NNE. of the Observatory 
gauge ; the funnel-mouth is 6°7 inches in diameter, it is connected with a graduated 
tube within the greenhouse, it is 18 feet from the ground, and 192 feet above the 
levelofthesea. This gauge is sheltered to the E. and NE. by trees, and its indica- 
tions are therefore less trustworthy, especially during easterly winds ; the amount of 
rain received in the funnel is also affected by the gusts of wind deflected from the 
sloping roof. The other gauge is in the middle of the Makerstoun garden, with a 
good exposure ; the funnel-mouth is 6:7 inches in diameter, is 61 feet above the 
soil, 171 feet above the level of the sea, and about 620 feet N by E. of the Obser- 
vatory gauge. The funnel is connected with a graduated tube. The greenhouse 
and garden gauges were observed by Mr MaccGAtt, the head gardener, the former 
daily, the latter monthly. 


VANES AND ANEMOMETER. 


100. The vane is placed on the north wall of the Observatory, and by means 
of a rod and geering-wheels it indicates the direction of the wind on a dial-plate 
within the building ; this vane (occupying the position W’ in the plan, Plate I.) was 
found too heavy for light winds, and the directions of these were estimated for some 
time from a ribbon-vane. On November 13, 1844, a vane was formed of four large 
feathers from a turkey’s tail, this vane was mounted on along and light fir-rod, which 
passed through the roof of the Observatory, and had an index attached to its lower 
extremity, which indicated the direction of the wind on a compass fixed to the ceil- 


VANES AND ANEMOMETER. lix 


ing of the Observatory. This vane indicated the direction of the lightest winds, 
and the direction of the wind was generally taken from it after November 13, 1844. 
On December 4, 1846, a light frame covered with oiled silk was substituted for the 
turkey feathers. The direction of the wind is indicated in this volume by the num- 
ber of the point of the compass, reckoning N = 0, E = 8, S=16, W = 24. 

101. The anemometer, the invention of Mr R. ADIE, of Liverpool, was made by 
Messrs ADIE and Son, of Edinburgh; it occupies the north-east corner of the Obser- 
vatory. This instrument will be best under- 
stood by a reference to the annexed figure : 
a@ is a cistern containing water to the level 5, 
c being a turn-cock for letting the water off 
to the exact level, and da glass-gauge to shew 
when the water becomes too low, from eva- 
poration or otherwise ; an inverted vessel ¢ 
is suspended in the water by a cord passing 
over the wheel f, whose axle rests on friction- 
rollers at g and h; 21s a spiral, which has a 
cord wrapped onit carrying a weight k, which 
balances the vessel e; J is a dial, graduated 
\ on the face near the circumference ; m an in-

| wheel and spiral ; a loose index under the

means of a projecting pin near the extre- 


mity ; oa tube passing under the cistern a,

surface of the vessel e, forcing the latter up, turning the axle carrying the index m, 
which carries before it the index n, leaving it at its farthest excursion. The dial is 
graduated as follows :—The surface of the top of the vessel e on which the wind 
presses is 78 square inches, therefore a pressure of 1 lb. on this surface is equivalent 
to 144 Ib. on a square foot. Different weights are suspended on the wheel f, acting 
oppositely to the vessel e, and the position of the index for each weight shews the 
pressure on a square foot of surface equal to the weight suspended multiplied by the 
above ratio. The spiral, on which the weight & acts, is the involute of a circle whose 


. R ' ‘ ‘ ’ 
radius 7 = ae where R is the radius of the wheel f, and 2 7 is the circumference 


to radius of one, if the vessel e were homogeneous throughout its depth, the equal in- 
crements of motion in the index would correspond to equal increments of pressure.* 

102. The instrument is observed in the following manner :—About 2™ before 
the observation hour the pressure shewn by the index n is registered as the maxi- 
mum pressure ; this index is then put back to zero, and from 7™ to 10™ afterwards, 
the position to which it has again been carried by the index m is noted as the pre- 
sent pressure ; the index n is then set to zero, and a similar double observation 
made at the next observation hour. It is conceived that this instrument can be de- 
pended on for the purpose of determining the laws of variation of the pressure of 
wind ; for absolute results, an integrating instrument is essential. 


STATE OF THE SKY. 


103. The extent of sky clouded is estimated ; the whole sky covered with clouds 
being noted as 10, and the complete absence of clouds as zero. The motions of the 
clouds are determined as follows :—A well-marked portion of cloud which passes, 
or has passed, through the zenith, is watched till the direction is found in which it 
seems to run down, or parallel to, one corner of the Observatory ; the walls of the 
Observatory are in the meridian and prime vertical, and the points of the compass, 
reckoning from each corner as a centre, are marked upon the paling surrounding 
the Observatory ; the observer, therefore, sees at once the direction of motion of the 
cloud on the paling ; when a portion of cloud cannot be seen which has passed, or is 


* The application of the involute of the circle as the spiral is due, I believe, to Professor Forszs. 
It is easily shewn that if the vessel e be homogeneous, w being the weight of a ring whose depth is one 
inch, P the pressure which the wind exerts on the top of e diminishing its weight, @ the corresponding 
are through which the circumference of the wheel f moves (or the length of cord wrapped on the wheel), 
W the weight of the counterpoise &, and o the specific gravity of the material (zinc) of which ¢ is

Crock, &c. Ixi 


about to pass, through the zenith, it is generally easy to determine very nearly the 
vanishing point of the motion of any portion of cloud, by watching its progress for a 
short period ; there can be no hesitation in saying, that the motions of the upper 
currents of air thus observed, are better determined than the motion of the lower 
or surface current observed from the vane. The directions of motion of the clouds 
in three strata (scud, including cumuli; cirro-stratus, including cirro-cumuli; and 
cirri), are given in numbers of points of the compass, reckoning N = 0, E = 8, 
S=16, W=24. The nomenclature adopted is that of Mr Howarp, with certain 
combinations, which are, in general, sufficiently descriptive. 

104. Full sunshine is indicated in the column of meteorological remarks by the 
symbol © ; when the sun shone through a cloud so as to project a distinct shadow, 
it is indicated by the symbol © ; when the cloud was very thin, this is indicated 
occasionally by the symbol © ; and when the sun’s disc only was visible, the symbol 
@ is used; similar symbols are used for the moon. The heaviness of the rain fall- 
ing at the time of observation has been estimated, and is noted in the column of 
meteorological remarks, upon the supposition that the heaviest fall is 10: thus, 
rain’, is rather heavy rain ; rain’, is the heaviest observed in 1844; rain, is just 
perceptible ; and rain®”, is a light, spitting, Scotch mist.

105. The mean time clock is by Dent of London; itis kept at Gottingen mean 
time by comparisons with the transit clocks in the Astronomical Observatory, the 
errors of which are determined by Sir THoMAs BRISBANE, by myself, or by Mr 
Weisu. The rate of the clock is kept small. 

106. A fire-place was formed in the space marked F (Plate I.), in October 
1845, the east anteroom being employed afterwards as a computing room; the 
chimney was formed of fire-brick tubing (which it was found could not appreciably 
affect the positions of the magnets), the grate and fire-crons were of copper.

The third column contains the observations of the bifilar magnetometer in scale 
divisions, corrected for temperature to 26° Fahr. (see Nos. 69 and 73); increasing 
numbers indicate increasing force. The bifilar is observed 2™ after the declination.

lxii INTRODUCTION TO THE MAKERSTOUN OBSERVATIONS, 1845 AND 1846. 


The fourth column contains the temperature of the bifilar magnet in degrees of 
Fahrenheit. 

The fifth column gives the readings of the balance magnetometer in micrometer 
divisions, corrected for temperature to 26° Fahr. (see No. 79); increasing numbers 
indicate increasing force. The balance is observed 3™ after the declination. 

The sixth column contains the temperature of the balance magnet in degrees of 
Fahrenheit. 

The seventh column contains the observer’s initial (see No. 5). 

At the foot of each page the time is given during which the declination mag- 
net has remained untouched, or the amount of torsion found in the suspension thread 
when that has been determined (see No. 12). The value, k, of one scale division of 
the bifilar magnetometer, the whole horizontal component being unity (see No. 40), 
and the value, k, of one micrometer division of the balance magnetometer, the 
whole vertical component being unity (see No. 60), are also given. 

108. Term-Day Observations of Magnetometers, 1845, pages 72-87. 

The first column contains the minute of Gottingen mean time of the declina- 
tion observations, the hour being given in the middle of each triplet of columns. 
The first column of each triplet contains the absolute westerly declination ; the 
second and third columns contain the bifilar and balance magnetometer readings, 
reduced to the temperature of 26° Fahr., as in the hourly observations. The 
temperatures of the magnets at the commencement of each hour will be found 
with the hourly observations, and the observer’s initial for each hour are in the same 
place. The corrections for temperature are applied to the observations in the fol- 
lowing manner :—The correction to the first observation of each hour being applied 
for the known temperature of each magnet, the temperature is supposed to change 
uniformly throughout the hour, and the corrections for the intermediate observations 
are interpolated between the initial corrections.

These observations are made generally during magnetic disturbances. The 
same remarks apply with reference to temperature corrections, &c., as for the term- 
day observations, excepting that the Gottingen day and hour are given in the first 
column, and the minute is given for the observations of each instrument. Notes 
upon the Aurore boreales observed are given, with the times of the phenomena in

the order noted below. When the observation has been made more than 4™ too 
late, the minute of observation is noted at the foot of. the page ; when less than 4™ 
too late, the true minute (for the declination observation) will be found in the first 
column of the hourly and daily magnetical observations. The Gottingen mean time 
is 49™ 50° in advance of the Makerstoun time. The second column gives the height 
of the barometer, corrected to 32° Fahr. (see No. 88). The barometer is generally 
observed between the observations of the declination and bifilar magnetometers, that 
is, about 70° after the hour. 

The third and fourth columns give the observed readings of the dry and wet 
bulb thermometers in degrees of Fahrenheit, wncorrected for scale errors (see No. 91), 
and the fifth column gives the difference of the observed readings of the two thermo- 
meters. The dry and wet bulb thermometers are generally read about 14™ before 
the hour. The sixth column contains the maximum pressure of wind on a square 
foot of surface which has occurred since the previous observation (see No. 102); this 
maximum is generally noted, and the index set back 2™ or 1™ before the hour. 

The seventh column contains the maximum pressure of wind on a square foot 
of surface within from 8™ to 10™ at the time of observation, namely, from 2™ or 1™ 
before the hour till 6™ or 9™ after the hour. 

The eighth column contains the direction of the wind read from the dial-plate 
of the vane, and given in numbers of points of the compass, reckoning N =0, E = 8, 
S = 16, W = 24. ) 

The ninth column gives the directions of motion of three strata of clouds in 
numbers of points of the compass, namely, of scud, cirro-stratus, and cirrus ; thus, 
June 134 20" 1845, the surface wind, by the vane, blowing from 8 (E.), the scud 
was moving from 4 (NE.), the cirro-cumulo-stratus was moving from 20 (SW.), and 
the cirri were moving from 21 (SW by W.) (see No. 103). 

The tenth column contains the estimated extent of sky clouded, the whole hemi- 
sphere covered being 10. 

The eleventh column contains the species of clouds observed, with other meteoro- 
logical notes (see Nos. 103 and 104). 

The observer’s initial will be found at the corresponding hour of hourly mag- 
netical observations. 

112. Daily Meteorological Observations, 1845 and 1846, pages 274-276 and 
412-413. 

The first column contains the civil day of observation, and the first column of 
each division of columns thereafter contains the minimum temperature noted from the 
self-registering thermometer about 10" a.m. ; the second column contains the maxi- 
mum temperature noted from the self-registering thermometer at 5” p.M., the third 
and fourth columns contain the minimum and maximum of radiation (see No. 92);

414-420. 

The first column of observations of the actinometer contains the Makerstoun 
mean time of the first reading given in the third column, the reading in the fourth 
column being made 60 seconds after; the second column tells whether both of these 
observations have been made with the actinometer in the sun or in the shade; the 
fifth column gives the change of reading in 60°; the sixth column contains the effect 
of the sun in changing the reading; the seventh column contains the mean effect 
for a group; and the eighth column contains the sun’s altitude for the mean time 
corresponding to the middle of each group. 

The readings of the barometer (corrected to 32° Fahr.) and of the dry and wet bulb 
thermometers, together with meteorological remarks, are given in the foot-notes ; 
other observations will be found in their proper places among the hourly observations. 

114. Additional meteorological notes are given after the observations of the 
actinometer ; these consist of observations of shooting stars, thunder-storms, dates 
of flowering of plants, times of the commencement of the morning-song of birds, &c. 

115. The Abstracts of Results, will be found in the next volume forming Part 
II. of Vol. XIX. of the Edinburgh Transactions. 

These Tables have appended or prefixed to them all requisite explanations, 
together with remarks on the conclusions deduced. In all cases where any of the 
ordinary hourly or daily observations had been omitted, the mean of the previous 
and succeeding observations has been substituted in the summations.

ADDENDUM. 


117. The process of making and reducing the observations for the absolute hori-

118. The value of m X, for December 30, is deduced from the 2d series of vibra- 
tions made upon that day, as there was obviously some error involved in the Ist 
series ; for a similar reason, the deflection at the distance of 8 feet has not been 


employed.

The observations, therefore, for the absolute value of X in 1844 and 1845-6, 
shew rather less secular change than is indicated by the bifilar magnetometer. See 
Introduction for 1844, p. xxvii. 

119. In addition to these observations, others were made in 1846 and 1847, 
according to Dr Lamont’s modification, with small magnets and instruments con- 
structed by Mr Jonrs of London. The observations of deflections will be found, 
p- 349-351; and the results for the observations of vibration, p. 352. 

120. The determinations of the torsion, induction, and temperature coefficients, 
were performed in a similar manner to those for the large bar. As the observations 
for the induction and temperature coefficients may have some value independently 
of their direct application, they will be given somewhat at length. 

121. Observations of deflection were made June 23, 1846 and January 2, 1847, 
with a six-inch circle magnetometer (belonging to Professor ForBEs), and May 31, 
June 15, September 11, and September 13, 1847, with a nine-inch circle magnet- 
ometer belonging to Sir THomMAs BrisBANE. The observations for the induction 
coefficients were made with the nine-inch circle, fitted with a bifilar torsion circle 
and magnet with mirror parallel to its axis (lent by Mr Jongs), and in a manner 
precisely similar to those for the large bar described, Introduction, No. 26. The 
following table contains a specimen of the results :—

tained from two thermometers with bulbs of different dimensions, one placed at each

125. For these magnets, therefore, the temperature coefficient varies from 1 


8 : 
to J, of its mean value from the mean temperature of 50° to that of 75°, the co- 


elficiort being greater at high temperatures than at low temperatures. A similar 
result was obtained by Mr CurisTIE long ago,* and lately by Mr Atry and Colonel 
SaBinE. This difference has not been found to exist for the large variation magnets 
(see Introduction, p. xliv.).

The observations in some instances are too few, and with too large probable 
errors to be sufficient for the determination of the difference of the coefficient, for 


rature in handling during the removal of the bar, an error would be introduced always of the same 
sign if the north end has always the same position at the beginning.

ascending and for descending temperatures ; on the whole, however, they indicate 
that the coefficient deduced from such rapid changes is greater for the same mean 
temperature (about 65°), when the temperature is increasing than when it is 
diminishing. The greater part of the observations were made without any inter- 
mediate temperature, so that there are not sufficient data to determine whether the 
difference is greater at high mean temperatures than at low mean temperatures. 

Mr S. H. Curistiz found that the temperature coefficient increases with the 
temperature, the increase becoming more rapid for temperatures above 80°; and 
that beyond 100°, a portion of the magnetism is permanently lost.* The previous 
results seem to indicate that (in such experiments at least), a portion of the magnet- 
ism is lost even at the lower temperatures for certain kinds of steel.+ 

The observations of deflection with the circle magnetometers have been reduced 
by the formula (see Introduction, p. xx.)

u, being the observed deflection corrected for declination change (see column 9, De- 
flection, p. 349-351). 

The observations of June 23, 1846, and of January 2, 1847, were made with 
Professor ForBEs’ 6-inch circle magnetometer ; the remaining observations were made 
with Sir Tuomas BrisBANE’s instrument, the dimensions of the magnets employed 
will be found, p. 351: the values of one scale division for the suspended magnets 
are as follow :—

The solid bars are about 0°3 inch diameter, and the collimator bars about 0:4 
inch diameter. 
All the observations, excepting those of September 11 and 13, were reduced by 
the method of least squares, the equations of condition having the form

+ The previous results seem to indicate that while it will always be necessary to determine the 
temperature coefficient for the magnetometers from the observations with the magnet in its box, 
yet it will be desirable to determine it also by the usual method of hot and cold water experiments.

DECLINATION. Torsion removed, Sept. 214 22}h + 19°.* Effect of + 10° of torsion = —0’-84. 
BIFILAR. Observed 2™ after the Declination, k=0-000140. BALANCE. Observed 3™ after the Declination, k=0-000010. 


Sept. 204 2h_6h, The floor of the Observatory washed: doors open throughout the day. 

* Sept. 214 223», This change of torsion may possibly be due to the dampness arising from washing the floor on Sept. 20: the brass 
bar was suspended with some difficulty, but it is not conceived that much torsion could have been thus introduced. 

+ Extra Observations made.

DECLINATION. Torsion removed,—Dec. 294 0%», 0°; 294 194, —11°; 304 9b, +74°*; 314 Ob, 0°, +12°*%. Effect of + 10° of | 
torsion = — 0-84. | 
Biriuar. Observed 2™ after the Declination, k=0-000140. BALANCE. Observed 3™ after the Declination, s=0:000010. 


Dec. 294 1h—304 7h. Magnet with short scale used in the declinometer. The declination at 294 5h—6h, and 30d 8h—9h, has been deduced from observa- 
tions of the unifilar. 

* Dec. 304 8h. The deflecting magnet vibrated in the declinometer box. 

Dec. 30d10h—11h. The declination magnet seems to have a tendency to vibrate through large arcs even after the arc has been made very small by checking. 

* Bee 31d 0b, Suspension thread wound up about 3 of an inch; torsion again removed. The declination at 31d 0h deduced from an observation of the | 
unifilar. |

The horizontal component diminished rapidly, and the bifilar scale went out of the field of the reading telescope. 


The arms of the bifilar torsion circle were turned through 1° 12’; they were turned at 15» 46™ to within 9/5 of their 


jriginal position, and at 21 30™ to their original position: all the observations made between 15" 0™ and 21» 30™ have been corrected to the

Gi. ey 

Jan. 911 7. Streamers and pulsations from an amorphous massto N. 8™. Rapid pulsations ; aurora in patches 
forming broken arches ; altitude of highest about 32°. 12™. Bright patch, with rapid pulsations, 
to NNE., since last observation. 13™. Rows of streamers to N. 15™. Mass of faintish 
streamers, with pulsations to NNE. A mass of cirro-stratus due N., altitude 10°, apparently sta- 
tionary. 17™. Large amorphous masses pulsating, especially to NE. 23™. Nearly as at 17™, 

: but not bright, occasionally brushes near horizon. 24™. Pencils to NNE. and NE. 

| 27. Large mass, about 60° in length from NE., pointing to 10° S. of zenith; pencils occasionally to 

: NE. 32™, Aurora diffuse, faint pulsations nearly to zenith. 35™. Pulsations like waves revolv- 

: ing from NNE. 38™. A digitate mass to NE. 41™. The mass of cirro-stratus to N., like a 

| black island lying in a sea of light, seems nearly stationary, its middle is about due N., and has 
an altitude of 10°; thin cirri to NW. 

52. Aurora rather diffuse, stretching from NNE. to W.; a faint, variable belt from W. to NE., altitude 
50°, with lateral pulsations ; few pulsations in the body of the aurora. 

12 0. Aurora on the whole brighter; patches to NE.; the mass of cirro-stratus still exists, but is more 
spread out towards the NW. 

9. A belt of nebulous patches stretches from W. to NE. through Polaris ; many patches in NW. quarter 
of the sky, to altitude 55°; the principal part’ of the aurora is to N., very bright; one streamer 
seen in the brightest portion of it; bright patches to NE. 

11. Obscured to NNW. by cirro-stratus ; pulsations among the patches of aurora. 

17. Patches appearing and disappearmg with great rapidity all over the N. portion of the sky as high 
as the zenith ; they seem to spread from the NNE., where there are still many bright patches. 

22. Aurora fainter; many bands stretching from NE. to W by S8., appearing and disappearing in a 

: second or two, also many patches; the bands seem to have their origin in the NE., they seldom 

attain nearer than 30° of the W. point of the horizon. 

26. As before, the bands rather more persistant. 

30. Much as before ; lateral pulsations to NE. among bright patches ; brushes. 

39. A series of broken bands from NE. to altitude of 70°—90° above N.; not many pulsations. 

44. <A faint belt can be traced from WSW. to NE., altitude 60° above NNW. ; aurora generally fainter. 

13 4. An arch of very faint light stretching from NE by N. to W by S., altitude 75°: streamers and 
bright patches to N. near the horizon; most of the aurora is now obscured by the cirro-stratus. 

10. Cirro-stratus and cirri over the aurora, and in no other part of the sky. 

15. No pulsations can be perceived; aurora fainter, 

26. Bands from NE by N. through 10° SSE. of zenith to SSW., composed principally of patches. 31™, 
The same; some of the streaks seen to 60° above SSE. The aurora seen through clouds to N. 

40. Faint streaks and patches over N. sky, and to 15° S. of zenith. 

14 9. Scarcely any of the aurora can now be seen for clouds ; no patches are seen near the zenith. 

21. Patches and bands of light; a thin haze seems spreading over the sky, which probably diminishes 
the intensity of the auroral light ; the clouds to N. obscure the aurora there. 

Jan. 19 12 0. Sky nearly coveredwith woolly cirri or cirrous haze; an indistinct lunar halo seen; conceived there 
was an auroral light to N., but was not certain, on account of the moonlight (B.) When the ob- 
server (H.) went to the Observatory at 13", he found the magnets considerably disturbed. 

22 10. Cirri rising in tufts from NNW., and radiating from that point, with the curls of the tufts on all sides 
turned towards the magnetic meridian ; very dense on the horizon, like a mass of auroral light, 
and in single tufts higher. 

Jan. 20 11 10. Large corona when the moon is covered by thin watery cloud, and small bluish corona in the appa- 
rently pure sky. Auroral light to N.; doubtful, from moonlight. Aurora seen in Orkney. 
(See Meteorological Notes on growing cloud.) 

Jan. 21 8 10. Large lunar corona. Auroral light to N.; doubtful, from moonlight. 

Jan. 23 15 34. A break in the clouds, to N., shews auroral light. 

Jan. 24 7 46. Cannot detect any appearance of aurora, probably on account of the bright moonlight. 

11 10. Cirri in thin bands, much like those described previously (Observations for 1844, Nov. 28, page 325), 
as apparently connected with aurora. 

13 10. There is a great similarity in the appearance of the filmy cirri with that of aurora; the cirri shoot 
up from about NW by N., (a few degrees from the magnetic north ;) bands of nearly stationary 
black clouds are lying on the NNW. horizon in a white light, just as in appearances of aurore. 
There seems little doubt that the light on the NNW. horizon is a combination of this cirrous cloud 
and the aurora. The bands, which reach as far as the zenith, move very slowly; at some times it 
was imagined that they were pulsating; this, however, was doubtful, a slight change of the direction 
of vision being sufficient, with the moonlight, to give an unsteady appearance to the filmy bands.

Very thin cirri radiating in bands, as on the 24th, from NW by N. and SE by S., forming a very 
irregular halo round the moon; the cirri seem to spring in tufts from the border of the halo, in 
the direction of the radiations, namely, from SE by S. 

The halo rather better defined, although still irregular. The colours of the interior corona are also 
more distinct. There may be auroral light to N., but if so, it is completely masked by the ei 
and moonlight. 

Cizri much as before, very like a bank of auroral light from NW by N., eastward. There is some- 
thing decidedly peculiar about these cirri. At 14" 10™ observed towards SW., altitude 45°, a series 
of parallel narrow bands of irri, some nearly 30’ broad; watched them very attentively, in order 
to see if any pulsations occurred ; could not see that they moved excepting longitudinally ; at 14m 
they had arrived at the moon and broken the halo into bands; they had thus moved bodily about 
40° in less than 4™. It is conceived that the length of the bands are increased as well as their 
number. It is to be remarked, that these bands did not lie in the same direction as the other 
cirrous streaks, the latter le nearly in the magnetic meridian, the bands lie nearly east and west. 
The bands from NW by N. span the sky in complete arches. Were the cirri not seen plainly 
near the moon, and the connection traced to the N., the appearance on the N. horizon would be 
noted wnhesitatingly as the common homogeneous bank of auroral light. 

Halo gone at present, but cirrous bands nearly as before. A black patch of cirro-stratus near the 
NW. horizon; this was also noticed at 13". 15™. It has been noticed throughout, that the decli 
nation magnet moves uregularly, by fits or jerks, the vibration often ceasing, or nearly so, suddenly, 
30™. W. portion of halo visible; many patches of cirro-stratus or scud risen on NW., N. ant 
SW. horizon. 45™. A rather thicker cirrus coming up to the meridian, moving slowly, with 
patches of cirro-stratus. The clouds continued moving up more quickly, becoming more and 
more dense till 16" 10™, when the moon was totally obscured, though thin cirri were still seen to E, 

Light seen through the clouds to N. 

Auroral light seen through the clouds to N. 

As far as the aurora can be seen it appears to be quite amorphous ; no pulsations or streamers. 

Auroral light to N. 30™. Auroral light becoming fainter. 

There seems a faint auroral light among the haze to N., but it is doubtful. 

The magnets having exhibited some slight irregularities in their motions, the observer looked to see 
if he could detect any appearance of aurora, the sky being perfectly clear, but he could not; 
having again entered the Observatory for a minute, he returned at 9™, and found the sky suddenly 
(in a minute or so) turned milky, with the exception of a streak of blue, reaching from SW. to- 
wards NE., another streak meeting it near the zenith (from NE. ?) at the same time it became much 
lighter to N. and especially to NE. There was now without doubt aurora, with faint pulsations, 

A most strange aurora; one portion extends in a bank along the horizon from SW. to NE. to am 
altitude of 45° above WNW., another similar portion to E.; pulsations all round, especially te 
SE. ; just now streaks with the bluish sky to E., altitude 45°. 

The western bank brightest on the whole; there is a sort of radiation from SW. and NE. ; six-tenths 

of the sky covered by aurora, and as much to S. as to N.; at times no pulsations visible, but the 
aurora seems to extend like a thin haze over the deeper blue of the sky ; the general position of the 
great boundaries are pretty permanent for some time. 

Very bright pulsation ; meteor shot rapidly towards the zenith from 60° altitude above NE. ; streaks 

to E. still bright; patch to SSW. with pulsations ; all the stars distinctly visible through the 
aurora, 
Much as before ; the Pleiades are immediately out of the W. bank, as they have been throughout the 
whole time. 
Sky nearly covered with the milky aurora; bank of cirro-stratus during the whole period to 
SE.; no other clouds visible ; streaks of blue sky to NW; dark space throughout the observa- | 
tionsin N. horizon. The edge of the cirro-stratus in E. and S. horizon, seems to be rather brighter | 
than the rest, just like the clouds in the N. horizon during aurora. y 
The observer watched the appearance of this aurora till 13" 10™. In its general features it con- — 
tinued much as before ; a rather wide streak of sky to NW. noticed at 50™ (which, it is belie 
existed before that minute), passing immediately below the Pleiades seems very permanent in its 
form and relation to the bank of aurora, The W. bank was on the whole brightest, although very 
variable in its brightness throughout. The luminosity of each mass was rather uniform, excepting — 
a patch to SSW. which was much brighter than the surrounding aurora. The dark space on the ~ 
N. horizon mentioned at 50™, was something like that under the usual auroral arch, but ill formed, — 
and not easily separated in some places from the aurora.

NOTES ON THE AURORA BOREALES SEEN AT MAKERSTOUN. 


The appearance, as noted at 9™, was much the same as if sheets of the very thinnest vapoury haze 
had been suddenly illuminated by a rising moon. The stars were as well defined in the aurora 
as in the dark spaces unoccupied by it, the only difference consisting in the grownd on which they 
were seen. The moon did not rise for several hours after this, but there was not the slightest 
doubt as to the auroral character of the phenomenon. (B. 

[All the remarks on aurora are given almost verbatim as they were noted during the phenomena. 
The above is a description of a phenomenon which I have named milky aurora, interesting for its 
peculiar character. It was observed on this occasion for the first time, but has been several times 
observed since, and always during very minute magnetic irregularities ; in several instances it 
covered the sky uniformly, giving an unusual degree of luminosity to a starlight night. One 
distinctive difference between this appearance and that of thin cirrous haze, is the clear definition 
of the stars; stars within the ordinary phenomenon of auroral sheets are-seen exactly as if ob- 
served through a telescope with an illuminated field; this is the case during milky aurora; in 
haze, however, the stars become blurred even when the haze is thinnest. October 1848. B.] 

‘eb. 5 8 5. Bank of auroral light to NNW. like strong twilight. 

30. Aurora brighter, and extending rather higher. 
9 10. Auroral light in form of a segment of a circle, summit of the arch in the astronomical meridian. 
30. As before. 

10 10. Aurora quite steady, not so bright as last hour. 

11 10. Faint auroral light behind the clouds to N. 

12 10. Faint aurora in form of an arch, altitude 5°, crown in the magnetic meridian. 

20. Arch measured, azimuths of extremities N. 273° E. and N. 67° W., centre of arch N. 20° W., altitude 
of summit 8°. 

38. Streamers shooting out from the arch all along. 44™. Streamers fainter and fewer; one rather 
bright to NNE. 

45—50. A low auroral arch, quite black below, with bright persistent streamers to (WNW.?) The sky 
decidedly blacker immediately without the arch than at a distance from it. 

49. One very vivid pencil to NW. moving eastward, disappeared before 51™, 

54. A bundle of pencils to NW. moving E., no other pencils along the arch. 57™. Arch faint, several 
streamers breaking out in all parts of it. 

13 4. Aurora altogether much fainter, one or two very faint streamers. 11™, Aurora brighter ; patches close 
on horizon, like the tops of streamers from a lower arch ; arch broken up into pencils to NW., a 
black streak of cirro-stratus there. 14™, Arch quite broken; a number of bundles of pencils ; 
streak of cirro-stratus still to NW. ; shooting star to N., altitude 30°, moving towards N. horizon, 
19m, The streak of cloud has disappeared; aurora quite amorphous, and much diminished in alti- 
tude; masses of streamers interpsersed, none of them bright. 24™, Aurora fainter, a great 
number of very faint streamers. 29™. Much as before, several small patches of cloud near N. 
horizon ; after this the aurora gradually became fainter, and at 50™ could scarcely be distinguished. 
The greatest altitude of the arch did not exceed 12°. The previous observations after 10 10m 
were made by Mr Welsh at the Observatory; the following were made by myself at my own 
residence, about 300 yards from the Observatory. 

138 10—15. Archas before, altitude not above 6° or 7°, no streamer at 10™, black within the arch, afterwards 
streamers from the same point as before, and, within the black, others rise all along the horizon ; 
they shew what I could not observe before, several small black patches of (cirro-stratus ?) within 
the black to (NW. ?) the blackish sky without the arch extends to 45° altitude, and is blackest in one 
point. This cannot be a deception due to the effect of the adjacent light on the eye, since, when 
the aurora is shut out from view, the blackness still subsists as before. The stars seem duller, 
as if covered by a thin cloud in the black. The darkness seems however greater and more ex- 
tended when the brightness of the streamers is greatest. The form of the external blackness is

remember to have observed this blackness so decided on any previous occasion, <A shooting star

Feb. 7 14 15, Pulsations without doubt, the wedge of pure sky pointing nearly NNE. as on February 1st; fre~ 
quent pulsations to NE., and especially on the edges of the loose cirro-stratus to NE. 

30. Very fine milky aurora; nearly as distinct as on February 1st, bright to W., with pulsations ; parallel 
bars of dark and light sky, altitude about 45° from W., pointing nearly NNE.; pulsations all 
round ; stars getting brighter to S. 

40. Aurora much off; stars very clear and distinct; very faint aurora now; very faint pulsations ? 
neither would have been detected unless carefully watched. 

50. Much as at 40™; most distinct about NNE., where the point of the wedge of sky is still well seen, 

15 0. Very faint; as before. 
5. Bright again with pulsations; nearly the whole sky covered. An amorphous mass of cirrous cloud 
on SSW. horizon, which seems to pulsate (or merely reflects the pulsations of the rest of the sky 2); 
it is dense on one side, and extends into thin cirri on the other (W.) side. 

20. Faint again, with pulsations around. 

30. The cloud to SSW. has extended into long strips of cirrus ; radiating from that point, it completely 
obscures the stars, excepting at the extremities, where the stars are seen dimly. The strips have 
a slight curvature, the concavity to E., are blackish, and quite different from the milky aurora. 
They reach now to zenith ; pulsations to E.

15. Measurements of arch; extremities N. 27° E. and N. 70° W., altitude of summit 8°, centre of arch 
N. 20° W, ; afew patches within the arch. 20™, The arch has much diminished and is very faint, 
afew patches on the horizon. 

25. Two arches, the upper one very faint, the lower broken and about 23° altitude; a dark space, not 
cloud, among the aurora to N. 28™. Aurora much fainter. 30™. Growing brighter, chiefly com 
posed of broad patches which commence on the horizon and spread upwards. 

38—40. An irregular mass of light from about N. $° W. to N., where it breaks abruptly ; the mass moves 
slowly eastward ; at the termination of the light there is a dark space, and a little farther east 
ward a few streamers ; the light breaks up into patches, filling up the dark space ; it then swells” 
out into a dense mass of light, and moves westwards, apparently pushing an intensely black pa: 
before it. 

45. All broken up, a few bright patches. 51™. The moon rose about this time, and obscured the aurora, 
some streamers were seen occasionally afterwards. (W.) . i 

10 0. Faint streamers seen to NNW. | 
Feb. 2811 O—80. The sky seems milky all over, witha slight appearance of radiation from N by E. ; it seems pro= 
bable that thisis milky aurora. There is rather more light to N. than elsewhere. Cannot be s re 
that there are any pulsations. There are dark-looking patches (of cloud?) to NW., through 
whose edges at least stars are visible, ee 
12 0. Evidently auroral light to N., but very faint; in fact only a little lighter than the rest of the sky, 
which is much as before ; the black patches to N. are away, at least from their previous position ; ; 
if clouds they were very ‘thin. 
13 4, Cirri radiating from 8 by W., sky milky as before; some cirrous haze. 
14 4. Cirri with cirrous haze, cirri radiating from about S. and N. Faint auroral light to N. It may be 
remarked that the character of the disturbances on the nights of milky aurora has been the same. 
March. 7 14 10. Clouds cleared off from zenith, and to an altitude of 45° above NE., where the sky seems milky and 
lighter than nearer the zenith ; cirro-cumulous clouds to NW. are very black, and seem lying in 
a milky sky. Speck of light near horizon at NNW. At the edges of the clouds the sky seems 
milkier than elsewhere, or if milky in no other place, it seems milky there ; this has been frequently 
noticed before, is it merely an optical deception? (B.) 4

m™m. 

15. There is little doubt there is an aurora; along with it, however, there is the phenomenon of auroral- 
like cirrous streaks. A series of arches of cirrous streaks extend from WSW. to NE., altitude 
of the highest 45° above NNW., breadth of streaks about 8°, then a belt of sky, and from 25° or 
so above the horizon the whole is aurora or cirri, or both, with dark streaks amidst ; the moon- 
light renders all doubtful. 

29. Cirrous streaks within 10° of zenith. 

49. The cirrous arches in strips now cover nearly the whole sky, rising from SW by W.and NE.? A 
lunar halo is formed in the streaks. Afterwards the cirri moved off towards SE. 

‘March 19 10 10. Auroral light to N.; rendered faint by the moonlight. 115 10™ and 122 10™. Auroral light. 13

them, which is barred by the strips of cirri; cirro-stratus on N. horizon. 
14 10. Aurora not well marked on account of the bright moonlight. 

March 24 15 5. Clear to N.; sky very milky near horizon. 

March 26 11 10. The sky seems rather light, especially to NNW. and SSE., the former probably due to faint aurora, 

the latter to a rising moon ? the banks of clouds on both these points render it difficult to deter- 

mine, Two or three flashes of lightning seen about 104. 
13 10. Auroral light to N.? seen above cirro-stratous scud; doubtful, however, from moonlight. 
14 10. Sky milky; the moon projects the shadow of the clouds in the air. Faint aurora? Stormy about 12".

35. Aurora rather brighter, brightest near N.; pulsations ? 
45. Less bright ; cirri radiate from NNW. ; sky milky, whiter in some places than others ; like thin haze 

to W. and S. and NW. ; stars seen dimly through it ; a bank or arch like a crepuscular arch to E. 

April 13 11 10. An auroral arch about 15° altitude, brightest towards the E., the W. end probably being rendered 

fainter by the light of the moon; very little change till about 18™, when it suddenly broke en- 
tirely up into patches and bundles of streamers, some of the streamers reaching to about 50° 
altitude; some of the patches very bright, they moved about considerably, but in no particular 
direction : after a little the aurora grew fainter. 

12 0. Aurora faint. 

13 19. Vivid aurora, with, large, broad and persistent streamers. 26™. Auroral arch about 35° altitude, 
with pencils imside the arch, very vivid. 3838™. Arch irregular, continuous and rapid pulsations, 
streamers, &c. 88™. Arch broken and diffuse, with slight variation, few streamers. 42™—43™. 
Arch flat, 15° (2) altitude; aurora homogeneous, slight change. 47™—48™, Arch higher and 
brighter, much of it covered by cirro-cumulus and cirro-stratus. 52™—53™. Nearly as before, 
bright to NE. 57™—58™. Arch higher, much as before in brightness, but becoming more and 
more covered with clouds. 

14 6. Clouds 9.5. Aurora brightest to NE. 

23. Aurora apparently much fainter; seen through the openings of the clouds. 34™, Aurora much 
brighter. 48™. Vivid patches seen between the clouds,

Bre. 29 9 55. A bright and very complete belt of auroral light stretching entirely across the sky from ENE. to 
¥ WSW.., the part nearest the zenith having an altitude of 80° from the SSE. ; at both extremities 
of the belt there was a slight turn towards the N.; the breadth at the broadest part was about 
2° or 23°, becoming less near the horizon; a diffuse auroral light to northward. 
10 7. The belt has now gradually disappeared, except a small portion to WSW., which still remains in 
the form of a narrow streamer; a few faint streamers to NNW. 

15. A portion of an arch to westward, composed of wisps of auroral light placed en echelon, about 2° or 
3° apart, and their length from 5° to 10° each, varying in width, and more or less irregular ; a belt 
of light to eastward; the highest wisps point to NW., the lowest to WSW., the directions vary- 
ing gradually between these.

Aug. 29 10 20. The belt portion of the arch does not join directly with the wisp portion, but has a twist a few 
degrees to S. of the zenith, the direction of the belt near the junction is at right angles to the di- 
rection of the wisps. 

20. A falling star to E., altitude 20°, moving towards E by S., first magnitude. 
24, The belt has shifted slowly to 10° S. of the zenith; the portion to westward is now of a homoge- 
neous character ; patches or wisps still in the zenith; fading to E.

12 0-30. A band of very faint light, stretching from ESE. point of horizon to S., altitude 30°, the breadt 
perhaps 10°. The light however was so very faint as to create a suspicion of its being an optical 
illusion ; it was certainly not the milky way ; no traces of it could be seen at 13> (W.) 

Oct. 20 13 5. Faint auroral light, with patches and small streamers, altitude 5°, Moon shining. 

Nov. 412 5. Diffuse auroral light, to altitude 6°, interspersed with streamers, some of which rise to 15° or 20°

within the arch. There have been patches of cirro-stratus among the aurora almost the whole 
time. 

7 57-59. The auroral light, which had sprung up towards NE., rolled gradually westward in the da 
space under the arch (like fire sweeping along a heath in a dark night), breaking at one time it 
two opposing combs, the teeth vertical. At 59™ a bright meteor, first magnitude, fell vertically 
from an altitude of about 25° above NNW., (7. e., im the. magnetic meridian) ; it moved with consi- 
derable slowness, occupying perhaps two oi ines seconds, till it met the auroral arch, where e 
was suddenly and completely extinguished.

276 EXTRA METEOROLOGICAL OBSERVATIONS, 1845. 
NOTES TO THE OBSERVATIONS OF THE SELF-REGISTERING THERMOMETERS. 
d. ih. 

Jan. 4 23. The temperature has risen during the night, so that no minimum could be obtained; the ma 
mum given for Jan, 44 most probably occurred this morning (Jan. 52) 

Jan. 11 The maximum temperature given occurred between 104 19 and 104 225, 

Jan. 22 The minimum temperatnre seems somewhat uncertain. 

Jan, 24 The maximum temperature seems somewhat uncertain. 

Jan. 31 The minimum radiation thermometer and the standard thermometer immersed in snow, at a ten 
perature of 32° and of 20°, when the former read 0°1 less than the latter. A new coati 
of lamp-black varnish put over the mimimum radiation bulb, which was afterwards roughene 

Feb. 3 About 1°-5 of alcohol found detached in the minimum radiation thermometer ; the thermome 
was adjusted Feb. 8" 4", and the observations previously were corrected for the induced ind 
error, which has been done in all similar cases. : 

Mar. 15 5. The temperature has been varying much and irregularly to-day ; the reading given is quite ace 
rate; the maximum, therefore, probably occurred before 1". 

Mar. 21 22. There has been no minimum during the night. 

Mar. 23 20. About 0°7 of alcohol found detached in the minimum radiator ; this must have again joinedt 
column of alcohol, as it could not be seen on the 28th. 

Apr. 11 The minimum temperature from the self-registering thermometer lost ; the quantity given is es 
mated from the observations of the dry-bulb thermometer. 

Apr. 16 The bulb of the minimum radiator was covered anew with lamp-black, the last coatiug ha ving 
been nearly washed off by tbe rai. The maximum radiator was placed about 3 inches abo 
the surface of the soil, and a shade from the wind was placed round it: it has been 15 inche 
above the soil since November. 

Apr. 30 20. About 0°-4 of alcohol found detached in the tube of the minimum radiator; the bleb was ne 
the top of the tube on May 5, and on May 6¢ 5h it had disappeared. 

July 18 7. 2°-6 of mercury found detached from the column in the maximum thermometer. 

July 27 22. The index of the maximum thermometer out of order; the temperature at 274 25 was 66°4 

Aug. 6 8. The speculum of the minimum radiator was resilvered. [the dry-bulb thermometer 

Sept. 1 The bulb of the minimum radiator was reblackened., 

Oct. 380 The mercury and index of the maximum thermometer adhere. 

Nov. 10 and 184. The index of the maximum thermometer has probably been adhering to the mercury. 

Dec. 25 The maximum radiating thermometer raised 18 inches above the soil, in order to allow the si 
to shine more perfectly upon it. 

Dec. 30 1. The minimum thermometer was set at 1934, The maximum is that since Dec. 294 22,

ExtTrA METEOROLOGICAL OBSERVATIONS, JANUARY 19—Marcu 20, 1845. 


ADDITIONAL METEOROLOGICAL NOTES. 


A meteor considerably brighter than Venus burst at azimuth, N. 38° W., altitude 10° ; its cour 
was towards SW., being inclined to the horizon at an angle of about ‘45°: only a few degre 
of its course were seen. 


Cirri rising in tufts from NNW. and radiating from that point, with the curls of the tufts, « 
all sides, turned towards the magnetic meridian ; very dense on the horizen, like a mass 
auroral light, and in single tufts higher. 


Large corona when the moon is covered by thin, watery cloud, and small bluish corona on #] 
apparently pure sky. Auroral light to N.? 


When the watery cirro-cumulo-stratus is over the moon it produces a beautiful corona of a ve 
fine light-green colour. 


Faint lunar corona. The sky seems very clear around the moon, yet the very faint light-gre 
can be detected to a radius of about 4°; inner circle of brownish light, about 10’ bro: 
145 10™, The cirro-cumulo-stratus exhibited the phenomenon previously described (see volun 
for 1844, p. 324, Sept. 264.) It moves rapidly, and seems always about to leave the mot 
but does ‘Bat; in fact, the cloud seems to grow at the prime vertical ; all to the north of it 
sky, and all to the ain is cloud. 152 5m, Faint corona as before. Cirro-cumulo-s 


now on the east and west horizon. 
Shooting-star to WNW., altitude 40°, moving very rapidly towards NNW. 


Sky coloured on S. to E. horizon. A beam of reddish light 4° or 5° broad, extends from ES 
to an altitude of about 45°, inclined to E. horizon at an angle of nearly 75°: another, b 
narrower beam, having the same origin, is inclined 20° to the E. horizon. 20° 12™, A bright 
beam, about the same dimensions as the first noted above, in fact like its opposite extremil 
springs from about NW by W.; also a lower band, which forms the greater part of an ar 
its apex having an altitude of 15° above the NNE.; all the bands are rather rose-colom 
20" 15™—20™, There are now six bands springing from about NW. (or NW by W. 2) poi 
of horizon, like broad streamers, with equal or rather less spaces of sky between: all th 
bands are rose-coloured, and rise from about 4° above horizon; sky dark blue. The ban 
nearest the vertical (inclined about 75° to the horizon) rise perhaps 20°; the lowest band 
extend like arches. 20" 30™, The whole now form a band of rosy light on N. horizon 
brightest about NW. (2), like an auroral bank. The sun rose shortly after this about ES 


Sky rather milky ; milky aurora? The new moon is shining; some of the milky spots are1 
doubtedly cirri, lighted by the moon. The cirro-cumuli now radiate from W. 
Beautifully-coloured lunar corona, nearly 8° diameter. The colours are very deep and distin 
much more so than usual. The cloud in which the corona occurs, the watery cirro-cumul 
grows about the zenith; at 111 a very faint small corona, although the sky seems perfectly 
clear. 
The dry and wet bulb thermometers shewed the same temperature (28°-0) ; at 12" 40™ the we 
bulb read 31°:0 when the dry bulb thermometer read 27°-0; at 0™ the water in the 
was not frozen ; at 40™ it was beginning to freeze; the increase of temperature was th 
probably due to the emission of latent heat during freezing (this has been frequently obse 
Cirri lying NW and SE. The cirro-stratous scud and scud reaches from Cheviot to NW 
unbroken mass, with sky on each side; Cheviot covered with snow. The upper ¢ 
cirrus appears to move rather quicker than the cirro-stratous scud. 
Sky milky (see Notes to Extra Magnetical Observations, p. 122). 17™—25™, Three met

wind veered from NW by N. to N by E. at 7" 10™, . 
A fine meteor brighter than Venus to NNE., moving downward very slowly towards NN 
through about 30°, no sparks.

17 27. a Lyre watched till now, when 1 of the sun’s diameter is visible above fs horizon ; had 
eye been a little better cared for at first, I have no doubt but it might have been seen 
the sun was completely above the horizon ; the eye was kept upon the star by placing t 
eye, the star, and a corner of the Observatory in the same vertical. 

Apr. 25 11 Light on horizon to S. $ W., like from a fire. 134 58™. Very bright to N by E., altitude I

cular space of 10°; the reflection (?) is only from the upper clouds (cirro-strati 2) and the 
is a black patch in the midst of the glare: this is perhaps the reflection of a fire as it 0 
in exactly the opposite point of the horizon from the light seen at 11". 

May 1 5. Beautiful and vivid double rainbow, the extremities within 150 yards of the observer ; fou 
currences of the red could be observed in the supplementary bows, but the red or reddish col

Feb. 25 "9 50. Auroral arch, upper margin passing through « Cygni. 
55. Auroral arch, lower margin passing through # Cygni. 
10 0. Arch 1° higher, steady; reaches from W by N. to NE by N. i 
10 10. Arch nearly as before ; the eastern termination is rounded like portion of a circle, but the weste 
termination, which is brightest, is sharp, starting in a nearly straight line, making an acute a 
with the horizon. 
35. Arch much fainter, the lower edge passing through « Cygni. 
11 40™—50™. Bright fee oaiil arch like ermine, about 7° altitude ; black sky (?) within, ultimately b 0 
up into several small arches with short streamers. 
12 15, The arch is rather irregular, and consists solely of pencils. J 
19. Arch irregular, but light more homogeneous. “ 
Feb. 26 10 30. Auroral light to N., with faint streamers shooting from the horizon. ‘ 
Mar. 16 8 55. Auroral light to N., to an altitude of 12°; partially obscured by clouds; throwing out fai 


streamers. : & 
9 0. Aurora obscured by clouds. - 
9 40. An auroral belt passing through 4 Orionis and between Castor and Pollux; rather nearer Cast 
than Pollux. > 


34, The belt broken into two ; probably the whole semicircle would be visible if the sky were clear, 
seen through haze. ‘ 
42. The arch is 4° broad, it passes south of Pollux through y Orionis and y Gemimorum to 45° al tite a 
from E, horizon, where it is lost behind clouds ; the arch is now single. 
45. The arch passes between a and y Orionis, south of Pollux and through ¢ Bootis. 50™. Thea ar 
has a bend towards the south between the zenith and Orion. : 
54. The arch fainter, passes through « Orionis and ¢ Bootis, it is about 3° broad. 55™. It now pass 
about 4° to south of « Orionis, and 3° to south of ¢ Bootis. 4 
10 3. Arch disappearing about the zenith. 10™, Arch still visible but very faint. 15™. Arch gone. 
11 35. Auroral light seen throughout the night above the clouds on the N. horizon. 
April 6 11 40. The sky has been somewhat milky to N., but owing to the moonlight and clouds it could not wi 
certainty be called aurora. The sky throughout the evening generally covered with rather Ia 
cirro-cumuli, a species of cloud which, if my memory serves, is rather common under the auspic 
of an increasing or nearly full moon (B. ) 
13 8, Faint auroral light to NW. ? the clouds have moved off in that quarter, the sky merely looks mil 
there however. 
18. There is no doubt that there is a faint aurora. : 
April 16 10 45. Faint auroral light to N.; it has appeared the same for some time, and no streamers have bet 
observed. 
11 35. Sky becoming overcast; light still seen to N. 13" 35™, Sky overcast. 
Aug. 24 11 165, Diffuse auroral hight with occasional faint streamers. 20™. Faint streamers to NW. 
Aug. 27 10 15. Diffuse, faint auroral light seen among the clouds; a faint broad beam to W by S., stretching t 
wards the zenith ; much obscured by clouds. 
25. Streamer rises from W by S., pointing south of zenith, another streamer is connected with it 
about 15° altitude, the latter passes through the zenith. Auroral patches to N, 
40. Streamer to W by S., narrow and distinct, making an angle of about 10° or 15° with the aire 
through the zenith and W by S. 
45, The origin of the streamer has moved further south on the horizon, but it is now very fair 
Auroral bank to N., altitude about 10°. Cloudy to E., S., and N. Sky chiefly from N. to ¥ 
and to SW. 
11 10. An auroral arch or bank, rather patchy and irregular ; occasionally short dumpy streamers. 19 
Arch pulsating. 20™. Only the NW. quadrant visible, continuous and rapid pulsation as hig 
as Ursa Major. 
23. Patches disappeared, to a considerable extent. 26™. Patches reappeared but not so bright as hefo 
36. Faint streamers from NW. horizon. 39™. Streamers bright. 
41. Brightest streamer to WNW. 45™. Much fainter. 55™. Aurora nearly disappeared. Sky b 
coming overcast. 
Aug. 29 10 25. Slight magnetic irregularities ; aurora looked for, but none visible. 
Sept. 10 9 40. Faint auroral arch about 7° altitude. 
Sept. 11 10 34. Auroral beam 2° broad, rising to an altitude of 20° from W by S.; the rest of the aurora very fait 
45™, Beam still continues, but fainter and shorter. 50™. Aurora very faint; the beam has di) 
appeared.

pt. 2113 0. Aurora to N., consisting chiefly of patches of light and bundles of streamers to an altitude of 40°, 


with incessant pulsation throughout the whole extent of the aurora; the aurora is not very 
bright, and it is obscured to a considerable extent by a black mass of clouds. 
15. No material change in the aurora; it has a very confused appearance ;—an indescribable mass of 
bundles of streamers and patches, with incessant and rapid pulsation. 
| 13 30. Aurora become fainter. 
t $8 8 20. Auroral light; fet streamers to N. and NW. 

it 9 8 5. Several bright streamers sprung up from NNW. 

t, 22 10 Faint auroral light seen through an opening in the clouds ? 

By. 17 7 34, Bright aurora over the sky ; partially cloudy ; quite overcast a little ago. A portion of an arch to 

south, perhaps 30° (?) altitude from SSE. 

36. About this minute a bright patch of auroral light seen to ESE., altitude about 30°. 

41. Broad streak of aurora reaching from SW. to SSW. ; altitude of the middle of the streak at its ter- 
mination in azimuth § 20° W, is 18°. Diffused auroral light, mixed with cirrous clouds ; hazy 
and dark spaces ; difficult to say where the aurora is bounded, or whether it be cut off by clouds. 

43. The aurora forms a bay to SW.; bright to NE., from an altitude of 10°, over zenith to W.; dark 
space to SW.; bay to W., persistent. 

46. Centre of bay, 17° altitude, very bright above W 27° S. There seems no cloud in the dark space 
at the bay, yet the stars seem dimmer in it than in the bright light of the aurora; cirrous clouds 

to N., formed of parallel linear cirri. 

) 50. Outline of auroral bay, like a reaping hook, the end of the handle in the horizon about W 30° S.; 

the top of the handle, altitude 8° above W 44° S.; the middle of the hook, 13° altitude above 

W 26° S.; and the top of the hook, 27° altitude above W 53° S. The light extends among 

the clouds to N. and NE. up to the zenith. 

51. The auroral light extends to the south of the zenith, about 70° altitude above SSW., where it mixes 
with a light cloud, from which it can scarcely be distinguished ; aurora on SE. horizon, or cloud. ? 
56. The clouds are moving off to E. The light to NE. springs from cloud, altitude 9°; its eastern 

extremity is at E 20° N. 

8 0. Incipient streamers amidst light to NE. and to W by N. The light is retrograding towards N., and 

has nearly attained the W. and NE. points of the horizon. 

2. Streamers more distinct to NE, 

3. A streak of aurora, unconnected with the horizon, has appeared suddenly to 8. The streak is 
about 2° broad and 10° long, and the middle of it (both as regards length and breadth) is due 
south, at an altitude of 12°. The streak disappeared in a minute or two. 

Incipient arch springs from W., altitude of summit 26°. 

Light about equally luminous to NE. and WSW.; slightly more concentrated at the former. As 
the clouds clear off, the greater part of the sky found covered with a milky aurora; faint, equally 
diffused light, excepting that here and there the light, more condensed, has the appearance of 
arches; the height of the well-defined aurora above the south is about 65°; this is only an ap- 

4 proximation, as the light thins off. 

11. The bay to WSW. is nearly obliterated. The southern portion of the light was at one time best 

defined, but it is now like the rest, 

19. Altitude of well-defined light from SSW., 65°. \ 

. 24. Altitude of well-defined light from SSW., 70°. 
27. The clouds have moved more eastwards ; sky covered to north, from 70° above SSW., with milky 


we 


43. The altitude of well-defined aurora is now 85° above SSW. The northern semi-hemisphere is 
covered with milky aurora as before. This milky appearance of the aurora is precisely of the 
kind observed covering the sky, Feb. 1, 1845, &c. (See page 120.) 
58. The auroral light has drawn nearer to the north. 
59. Altitude of auroral segment above NNW., 57°. 
8 0. Altitude of auroral sezment above NNW., 48°. 
1. Altitude of auroral segment above NNW., 47°.

The observations, June 23, 1846 and Jan. 2, 1847, were made with a unifilar magnetometer, by Mr Jones of London, belonging to 
ssor FORBES. The observations, May 31, June 15, Sept. 11, and Sept. 14, 1847, were made with a theodolite magnetometer, by 
ONES, belonging to Sir THOMAS BRISBANE. 


The following magnets were used in these observations :— 


June 23, 1846. Suspended. Solid, 2°5 inch. Deflector. Solid, 3-65 inch. F. 
Jan. 2, 1847. 3:0 inch. sonagcsss Idem. F. 
May 31, 1847. Hollow (with mirror), 3-0 inch B. 6. Collimator, 3°65 inch. M.

Sept. 11, 1847. Collimator, 3:0 inch. Pe crne Idem. M. 
Sept. 14,1847. ...........e Idem. Collimator marked 4. B. 


agnets used on the first two days belong to Professor FORBES’ instrument ; those used afterwards belong to Sir THomAs BRIs- 
’S instrument, with the exception of the collimator deflector marked 4, used Sept. 14, 1847, which belongs to an instrument made 
JONES for Professor BACHE of New York. 


abstract of the observations for the times of vibrations of the different deflectors is given on the following page, and the final 
ts will be found in the Addendum to the Introduction.

PREFACE. 


Tue Makerstoun Observations down to the commencement of 1847 were published 
at length in Vols. XVII. XVIII. and XIX. of the “ Edinburgh Transactions.” 

Some time before the lamented decease of Sir T. Maxpoucatt BrisBanez, the 
munificent founder of the Makerstoun Observatory (which took place on the 27th 
January 1860), it had been determined to continue the publication of the “ Ob- 
servations” down to the year 1855. ‘This was carried into effect at the joint ex- 
pense of the Royal Society of Edinburgh and of Sir T. M. Brispanez, who had the 
satisfaction of seeing these sheets in proof before his death. 

The Editor thinks it right to state somewhat more explicitly than has been 
done in the “ Introduction” which follows, the names of those who have been 
from the first connected with the Makerstoun Observatory, and more especially 
during the period to which the following pages refer; and this not only in token 
of acknowledgment to those whose skill and labour produced valuable results, but 
as a guarantee to men of science that the observations treated of in this volume 
were carefully made and faithfully recorded. 

The following statement is partly taken from a Report on the Makerstoun 
Observatory, made to General Sir T. M. Brissane by Mr Joun ALLAN Brown, 
and dated 1850. 

The building was commenced early in 1841, but no observations were made 
till July of that year. The system adopted was limited, in the first instance, to a 
few daily observations, together with a participation in the complete series on 
term days. 

In April 1842, the original observer, Mr RussEL, having resigned, the Obser- 
vatory was placed under the direction of Mr Jonn ALLAN Broun. In the be- 
ginning of 1843 Mr Joun WELSH was, at Mr Broun’s recommendation, appointed 
as assistant, and the scheme of the observations was very largely expanded. It 
was next thought desirable to obtain the diurnal laws of magnetism and meteor- 
ology, in consequence of which Mr Broun suggested the addition of another 


1V PREFACE. 


observer, and Mr ALEXANDER Hoee, an ingenious mechanic who had been engaged 
in the construction of the Observatory (which was performed chiefly under his 
superintendence), and who had been afterwards employed as an observer on Term 
days, was in consequence appointed in the end of 1843. 

In 1844 and 1845, a series of observations of all the magnetical and meteoro- 
logical instruments was made hourly except on Sundays. It was originally pro- 
posed that this hourly series should extend through only two years; in 1846, 
therefore, the same system was adopted as in 1843. A more limited series of ob- 
servations was made in the years 1847, 1848, and 1849. 

After 1845 the ordinary observations at Makerstoun were chiefly made by 
Messrs WELSH and Hoge. The latter continued the observations in 1849, and 
thereafter, in accordance with instructions left by Mr Broun for his use, who also 
examined the Observatory in 1851. 

In the autumn of 1849 Messrs Broun and Wetsu left Makerstoun for Edin- 
burgh, where the former continued the preparation of the last volume of the Maker- 
stoun Results* for the press, Mr WELSH aiding in the reductions and preparations 
of tables ; and with this work they were occupied till the spring of 1850. 

In that volume the observations were fully discussed until the beginning of 
1847, while certain results were obtained extending to November 1849. 

It is the observations from 1847 to 1855 that are chiefly discussed in this 
Appendix ; while, at the same time, certain general conclusions are drawn from 
the whole series of observations. 

From 1849 Mr Hoce was almost entirely responsible for the accuracy of the 
observations—a duty for which his experience and fidelity rendered him well 
qualified. Mr Broun and Mr WeEtsu occasionally inspected the instruments. 
The former left England for India in November 1851. Mr Wetsu had already, in 
1850, been appointed to the charge of the Kew Observatory, and continued, so far 
as his other duties permitted, to take an interest in the Makerstoun Observations, 
and aided the Editor of this Appendix with his valuable advice down to the period 
of his premature decease in May 1859.

GENERAL RESULTS OF THE MAKERSTOUN OBSERVATIONS. 


1. The detailed results of the Makerstoun Observations for each of the years 1842, 1843, and 1844, have 
already been given in the volumes containing the observations for these years ; the detailed Tables of Results 
for the years 1845 and 1846 are given in pages 1 to 86 of this volume: general conclusions from the whole 
series of observations from 1841 to 1846, together with those from the monthly mean values till the end of 
1849, are given in the pages immediately following. 

2. In considering the following investigations, it will be of importance to bear in mind the numbers of Ob- 
servations made daily, upon which the separate results depend ; these are noted in the following scheme :—

xu GENERAL RESULTS OF THE MAKERSTOUN OBSERVATIONS. 


Mean Westerly Declination and its secular change.—The mean declination for each month in each year, 
from August 1841 till November 1849, is given in Table I. ; it diminishes generally from month to month ; 
in the mid-summer months, however, it frequently increases. 

4. The mean declination for each year, with the yearly value of secular change and its mean value for each 
four years are given in Table 2: the mean for 1841 has been deduced in assuming the change from 1841 to 
1842 the same as that obtained from a comparison of the observations for four months of 1841 with the 
observations for the corresponding months of 1842; and the mean for 1849 has been found similarly from 
the comparison of the observations in the first eleven months of the years 1848 and 1849. 

5. The mean yearly value of the secular change from the last column of Table 2 = 5°92. Some irregularity 
appears in the values of the secular change from year to year, especially in those for the years 1846-1849, com- 
pared with the values for the preceding years ; this marked difference, it is conceived, is not due to instrumental 
error, because no such amount of torsion in the suspension thread of the declination magnet has existed to pro- 
duce it ; and the observations of the bifilar and balance magnetometers indicate a similar variation in the 
value of the secular change for the year 1847-8. In that year, great magnetic convulsions occurred, the effects 
of which seem to have extended into the years 1848-9. 

6. The last column of Table 2 appears to exhibit the variation of the yearly value of secular change ; its in- 
crease as the needle moves farther from its greatest westerly position. Between 1842 and 1847 the secular motion 
from year to year is moderately equable. This is not the case with the motion from month to month, which is 
occasionally retrograde. We are induced to conclude, therefore, either that the secular motion varies from 
month to month, while nearly constant from year to year; or that the secular motion being uniform from 
month to month other motions are superposed: in either case, by reducing the mean positions for the several 
months to one epoch, the residual variations will be more clearly exposed, and it may be determined whether 
they obey any law related to season. Since we are aware that the secular motion for the same place is sometimes 
eastwards and sometimes westwards, it does not appear necessary to form any other hypothesis than that the 
secular change is the excess of the motions in one direction over those in the other, and to determine whether 
the amounts and directions of motion have any relation to season.

7. Annual Period of Magnetic Declination —In the discussions for 1844 the apparent law of annual varia- 
tion has been offered with some confidence, and that chiefly because of the considerable agreement of four years’ 


observations where the variations were of the smallest order. In the means for 1843-6, the proportional parts | 
of the yearly secular change being eliminated, the variation of the monthly means is under one minute; since | 


the variations from month to month are so small, it is evident that, in order to detect any relation to season, 
the greatest care must be taken to avoid all instrumental errors ; for this reason it appears proper to consider 
at first the results from those years only (1843-6), during which a sufficient number of daily observations were 
made to give the monthly means without any considerable error. The means for the first of these years (1843) | 
are affected to some extent with torsion of the suspension thread, which broke gradually in June; on which 
account the mean of May and July has been substituted for June in Table 3.

8. Table 3 has been formed from Table 1 in the following manner ; the monthly means for 1843, 4, 5, and 6 
were reduced for mean secular change to January of their respective years by the correction 


M, + 0°48 x nv 


where M,, is the mean for the xt" month after January, and 0':48 is the approximate mean value of secular 
change for one month. If m be the mean of the twelve resulting quantities for any year, the numbers w in 
Table 3 are obtained by the formula 


Ln = M, + 0°48 x n—m 


The numbers for 1847, 8, and 9, were obtained in a similar manner ; 0:63 being used instead of 0'-48 
for 1847, 0-62 for 1848, and 0-56 for 1849 ; the value of the secular change for 1847 has been obtained by 
comparing the last six months of 1846 with the corresponding months of 1847, and the first six of 1847 with 
the corresponding months of 1848 ; that for 1848 was obtained similarly. The means for 1841-2 are not in- 
serted, as they were too much affected by torsion and broken suspension-threads to be of use in this investigation. 

9. The interpolated epochs of maximum and minimum, from the mean of 4 years in column 8 of Table 3, 
are,— 

A minimum of westerly declination in the end of April ; 


JA. Da ax im UME clesesee otlet es in September ; 
AL MUTE easier s)s aise + «cuicis'e ss in the beginning of December ; 
ZX WOAXAUION Cee ee cle stein e onslce'e © in the end of January. 


This result is shewn with considerable fidelity im each of the four years; the greatest variations from it 
can be traced to torsion of the suspension thread removed at the particular epochs: the means for 1846 give 
accurately the result of the means for the other three years. 

10. The year 1847 was one of great magnetic disturbance, and as only 5 observations were made daily, the 
effect of the disturbed observations on the monthly means is the more considerable. Thinking it possible that 
corrections for the 5 observations might be obtained with greater accuracy from complete series made elsewhere 
during the same year, I applied to Mr Arry, the Astronomer-Royal, for this end. I have to thank him for fur- 
nishing me with corrections obtained from the Greenwich Observations for that year. These corrections having 
been applied, the resulting variations, obtained as previously indicated, will be found column 10 of Table 3 ; 
they give almost exactly the same result as the quantities corrected by the Makerstoun Observations for 1844 
and 1845: according to both, there is a slight maximum exhibited in August, but otherwise the result 
differs considerably from that given by the preceding years. The observations for 1848 and 1849 on the 
whole indicate a result not differmg greatly from that for 1847; and when we examine the mean for the 
3 years 1847-9, as in the last column of Table 3 (where the mean of columns 9 and 10 has been taken for 1847), 
we find a similar but more regular result. The value of the conclusions from the observations for 1843-6 


_ depends upon the consistency of the partial results and the regularity of the secular motion from year to year : 


when it is pointed out that the means for 1847, 8, and 9, are deduced from but few daily observations, it should

also be stated as very probable, that the errors in the corrections employed (to reduce the means obtained to 
those derivable from complete series) are insufficient to account for the differences of these variations from those 
for the preceding years ; as is evident for the year 1847, corrected by two very different methods. The only 
evident explanation remaining is to be found in the varying secular change for these years; and it does not 
appear at all improbable that the difference is connected with this variation. It has been shewn that the annual 
period has appeared inverted when the sign of the secular motion was opposite ; it is the most remarkable fact — 
in connection with the differences of the results for the two periods 1843-6 and 1847-9 that they are exactly 
the inverse of each other (see columns 8 and 13 of Table 3): the completeness of the opposition in the double 
maxima and minima appears too curious to be accidental. If the latter result be a true exposition of the annual 
law for these 3 years, it will follow that the inversal of the law observed at the same time with an opposite 
secular motion is not necessarily a consequence of that opposition.* & 


Differences of the Daily Means of Declination from the Means for the corresponding Months.—The diseus- — 
sion for 1844 will be found in the volume for that year, page 332, the results for 1845 and 1846 are obtained

11. The conclusions from this Table are :— 
lst, The daily mean declination departs farthest to the west of the monthly mean in August, September, 
and October, on the average about 096: the average departure for each three of the remaining nine months 
is nearly constant ; about 0”60. 


* [ have pointed out in a paper on the magnetic declination read before the Royal Society of Edinburgh, May 3, 1847, that the 
annual variation is inverted when the secular motion has an opposite sign. M. ARaGo made an indistinct approximation to this fact 
in comparing the observations of CASSINI with those of BowDiTcH (1810), Annales de Chimie, xvi., p. 66. M. Karmrz also alludes 
to the fact in comparing CassINni’s observations with observations by M. KUPFFER and M. Gauss (Kémtz Lehrbuch, iii., 426). In 
both cases the fewness of the latest observations are considered to render the conclusion doubtful. Dr Luoyp has recently distinctly 
stated the fact from the comparison of CASSINI’S observations with his own (Trans. Roy. Ir. Ac. xxii., May 1846). The following is 
from the abstract of my paper :—“ The annual period of magnetic declination consists of a double oscillation, having nearly the fol- 
“ lowing epochs of maxima and minima :— 


“ A max. Jan. 30. The min. April 30. The max. Sept. 10. A min. Dec. 10. 


“ The author examines CAssINI’s observations (1783-7). Although they confirm this law to some extent, it is not conceived that 
“‘ they can be trusted for such a determination. The author also verifies his result by grouping a large mass of modern observations. 
« The observations at Washington [1840-42], and Toronto [1841-42], [discussed in the paper] with other facts, prove that the oscilla- 
“ tion is inverted, when the secular motion of the needle has an opposite sign ; and Colonel BEAUFOY’s observations [1817-20] seem to 
“ prove, that when the secular motion is zero, the annual period is a combination of the oscillations for a positive and negative secular 
“motion.” (Proceedings Roy. Soc. Edin. May 1847.) ‘ 


ANNUAL VARIATIONS FOR THE MAGNETIC DECLINATION. XV 


2d, The daily mean declination departs farthest to the east of the monthly mean in the months from 
August to February ; the means for 1844 and 1845 (which are most to be depended on for this investigation) 
indicate November, December, and January, as the three months with the greatest average departure to the 
Bact, about 080: the least mean departures to the east occur in June and July; the average being 0:55, 
or, by the means for 1844 and 1845, 0:38. 

+ 3d, The mean westerly departures are most in excess of the mean easterly departures in August, Sep- 
; Bomber, ’and October, and the latter are most in excess of the former in December and January. 

3 4th, The mean departures, without reference to direction, are greatest in August, September, and October ; 
_ the average being 0’-80: they are least in April, May, and June; the average is 0’-60 nearly, the means of 
each three months in the last column of Table 4 being under consideration. This result was generalized in 
_ the volume for 1844, p. 332, as follows: “The average difference of the daily means from the monthly means 
in 1844, was a minimum when the mean westerly declination was least, and a maximum when it was 


greatest. 

‘5th, The mean departure of daily mean declination from the monthly means for 1844 = 0/56

Annual Variation of the Diurnal Ranges of Magnetic Declination.—The diurnal range of motion of the 
declination magnet varies from month to month: the following Table contains the mean of all the diurnal 

‘ranges for each month, as deduced from the usual daily observations: the means for 1844 and 1845 only are 
_ comparable with each other.

1@ 12. From the means for 1844 and 1845 in Table 5 we find, that the mean diurnal range of the hourly obser- 
| Yations is greatest in the months of March and April (= 15’-70), and in the months of August and September 
| (= 15°68); that it is least in the months of December and January ( = 11’27), and in the months of June 

‘and July (= 12” 90). This result may be stated generally thus :—The angle, including the diurnal oscilla- 


| it is least at the winter and at the summer solstices. The means from the incomplete diurnal series of 1843 
_ and 1846 indicate the same law. The quantities given in Table 5 are obtained from the ordinary daily obser- 
| vYations, and while they are sufficiently comparative to indicate the variation of range with season, the daily 
|} observations are in no year sufficiently numerous to give the absolute diurnal ranges: in 1844 so careful a 
| watch was kept over the smallest variations, and so many additional observations were made, as to render it 
: t probable, that Table LX. for 1844, p. 400, contains very nearly the absolute ranges for all the three magneto- 
| meters: a similar remark will apply to Table L., p. 28 of this volume, for 1845, although not to the same

extent; the smaller disturbances not having been observed with the same completeness in that year. The 
mean diurnal ranges for each month from these two Tables are as follow :—

1844, 1163 13°63 19°36 1910 14°83 12°60 13°36 16°58 17°74 19°26 19%66 12”95 | 15-89%

These means give the same law of variation as that already found from Table 5, but the values are con- 
siderably higher. From the means for both years we may conclude, that the mean angle, including the diurnal 
oscillations in years of moderate disturbance at Makerstoun, is about 18’ at the equinoxes, about 14’ at the 
solstices, and about 16’ for the whole year. 


Annual Variation of the Ranges of the Monthly Mean Diurnal Variation.—We have considered above 
the annual variation of the mean ranges for each day, we now give in Table 6 the ranges of the mean diurnal — 
variation for each month. The first four lines contain the diurnal ranges of the means of all the regular daily 
observations made in each month; and, as in Table 5, only 1844 and 1845 are comparable with each other: 
the last line contains the range of the hourly means for each month, as deduced from the observations for the 
4 years given in Table 12. 

* 183. From the last line of Table 6 it appears that when a sufficient number of observations is employed, the 
range of the mean diurnal variation is nearly constant for the six months, April to September, being on the 
whole rather larger for the first three than for the last three of that half-year: the mean range for the whole 
six months is about 11-0. The range is nearly of equal value for pairs of the remaining six months, namely, 
for March and October (=9’2) ; for February and November (=7’3) ; and for January and December (=5'-9).

14. When we examine the range for each month of the mean diurnal variation as deduced from any single 
year’s observations, we observe a similar result to that obtained from the means of the diurnal ranges (Table 5) ; 
namely, that the range is, on the whole, greater for the months near the equinoxes than for those near the 
summer solstice ; but as we combine a larger number of observations the difference gradually disappears, till 
(as we see in the mean of four years’ observations, Table 6) the only difference appears in the slightly greater 
range for the months immediately before the summer solstice than for those immediately after it. The differ- 
ence betwixt the two results is, therefore, in all probability, due to irregular causes, which shift the epochs of 
the extreme positions of the magnet. That this is the case will be rendered nearly evident by the ranges of the 
diurnal variation as deduced from the 17 days’ observations with least irregular disturbance (see 1844, 
p. 339, and p. 5 of this volume); they are as follow, 


Jan. Feb. March. April. May. June. July. Aug. Sept. Oct. Nov. Dec. 
3°43 454 (28 Ao 9°66) De She er -to 964 ier 5°31 4" 11 


These, with the exception of the range for May, indicate generally the constancy of the regular diurnal 
range in the months from April till August. The exception of May is easily explained by the fewness of the 
observations, and the method by which the observations were selected (see volume for 1844, p. 339). 

15. Since, then, the means of the diurnal ranges differ from the diurnal ranges of the means, chiefly because of 
irregular disturbing causes which shift the epochs of the extremes, the differences of the results will give some 
measure of these disturbances. Taking the differences betwixt the last line of Table 5, and the last of Table 6, 
we have,

ANNUAL VARIATIONS FOR THE MAGNETIC DECLINATION. XVII 


The difference is prcatey for March and September than for the winter months, and it is least for June. 
From this then we conclude (as in the volume for 1844, p. 334) that those irregular disturbances which render 
the mean diurnal range greater than the range of the mean diurnal variation, ieee their maximum effect about 
the equinoxes, and their minimum at the summer solstice. We are still ignorant of the law of disturbances as 
flecting the position of the declination magnet at all portions of its diurnal motion ; to determine this, we may 
Drnsider the differences of the positions of the magnet at each hour, from its mean position at the same hour 
for each month. 


Annual Variation of the Mean Difference of a Single Observation of Magnetic Declination from the Monthly 
Mean at the corresponding Hour.—These differences have been obtained for the years 1844 and 1845 only, and 
he means for each month (from Table XIV., 1844, p. 346 ; and Table XIII., p. 8 of this volume) are as 
follow :—

16. The mean differences from both series give nearly the same result, which is, on the whole, similar to that 
deduced from the diurnal ranges ; ; it may be cated thus ;—the mean departure ae the declination magnet from 
normal position for any hour is greatest near the equinoxes, and least at the summer solstice. When we 
mine the means for the separate years, we find that those for 1844 give the result with considerable dis- 
tinctness, the chief difference consisting in the occurrence of the autumnal maximum in October and November ; 
in 1846, on the contrary, the spring maximum is ill defined at best (asi in the 2d series,) while January is a 
month of considerable disturbance. It appears evident that two years’ observations are too few to exhibit a 
of this character free from all irregularity. The year 1844 appears to have been remarkably adapted for 
ibiting all the usual laws of magnetic and meteorological variation ; it is on this account, that it will be 
nd generally in these discussions, that the combination of another year’s observations, does not serve to make 
the results already obtained in the volume for 1844 more regular.

xvii GENERAL RESULTS OF THE MAKERSTOUN OBSERVATIONS. 


17. From the first series, the number of observations to the west of the monthly means for the correspond. 
ing hours was greatest in the 4 months December to March, there being on an average 6 more to the west than — 
to the east in 100: the number was least in the months of October and November, there being on an average 
7 less to the west than to the east in 100. July is the only other month, in the mean of the two years, for 
which the number of observations to the west of the mean was greater, than the number to the east. The num- 
ber for each of the months from April till September varies little. 

18. From the second series, for which the mean hourly position is deduced from days selected as nearly free 
from disturbance, the number of observations to the west of the hourly means was greatest in the 6 months 
from November to April, there being an average of 12 observations in 100 more to the west than to the east ; 
in the remaining 6 months, May to October, there is an average of about 2 less to the west than to the east. 

The number of observations to the west of the hourly means (whether these are obtained from all the ob- 
servations, or from the undisturbed observations only) is greatest about the months December to March. 

19. By both series, each year shews more observations to the west than to the east of the hourly mean posi- 
tions, however obtained ; so that the greatest departures from the mean position are to the east, the direction 
of the secular motion: the 2d series shews this fact most distinctly, as might be expected, since the mean posi- 
tions are nearly unaffected by disturbance. : 


20. Annual Variation of the Probable Error of an Observation of Magnetic Declination from the Monthly 
Mean for the corresponding Hour.—lIt has been already shewn in the volume for 1844, p. 351, that the probable 
error cannot be deduced on the assumption that the differences from the mean position are analogous to the 
errors in the observation of a constant quantity, since that assumption is inaccurate; the differences do not 
occur equally to the east and west of the mean, as is shewn in the following discussion ; nor is the number 
occurring within certain limits satisfied by the usual function of the errors obtained from the calculus of proba- 
bilities, as will be found from Table XIX., p. 352, 1844, and Table XVI., p. 10 of this volume. In conse- 
quence, a graphic interpolation has been employed to determine the probable error, that is to say, the depart- 
ure from the hourly mean position, for which there were as many observations with a greater, as there were with 
a less departure; these, deduced from the two tables last referred to, for each month are :— 


Jan. Feb. March. April. May. June. July. Aug. Sept. Oct. Noy. Dec. Mean.

These numbers on the whole follow the same law as the mean difference: The probable error of an obser- 
vation of magnetic declination from the monthly mean of the corresponding hour (without reference to which 
hour) is least in June (=0'84) and in December (=099), and it is greatest in September (=1’-46) of the 
autumn months, and in March (=1':24) of the spring months. The remarks already made in the case of the 
annual variation of the mean disturbance apply equally here, see No. 16.

MoNnTHLY VARIATIONS FOR THE MAGNETIC DECLINATION. xix 


21. Variations of Daily Mean Westerly Declination with reference to the Moon’s Age and Declination.— 

Table 9 has been formed from the Tables given in the former volumes of observations, and in this volume, 

pages 2 and 29; the means of groups of 3 or 4 days are given positive when west, and negative when east of 
phe mean. 

From Table 9 it appears,— 

1st, That the westerly declination is greatest about two days after full moon. 

2d, That it is greatest when the moon is farthest north. 

In both cases, the epoch of maximum only is well marked; in the 3 or 4 days before it and after it, the 

- declination is most westerly; in all the rest of the periods the variations are inconsiderable. When the small- 

“ness of the variations and the large effect of considerable disturbances are considered, the results of the separate 

years are sufficiently consistent, to give a considerable probability to the truth of the conclusions: in each 

| year, the declination was more westerly about the time of the moon’s greatest north declination, than for any 
other time.

22. Variation of the Diurnal Range of Magnetic Declination with reference to the Moon’s Age and Declina- 
tion.—The means for groups of days given in Table 10 have been deduced from the tables in the present and 
| former volumes. It results from Table 10,— 
1st, That the diurnal range is greatest (from the mean of 1844 and 1845,=16’-05) about 2 or 3 days 
| after the sun and moon are in opposition: that it is least about 3 days before they are in conjunction; the 
| mean of 1844 and 1845 giving for that epoch 11’-28. . 
_ «2d, That the diurnal range is greatest about 4 days after the moon is farthest north ; the mean at that 
| epoch for 1844 and 1845 being 16-15: that it is least when the moon is farthest north, and about three days 
| after it is farthest south ; the value from the means of 1844 and 1845 in both cases being about 1230: that 
‘a secondary maximum of diurnal range occurs about 3 days before the moon is farthest north ; the mean from 
1844 and 1845 being 14’-04. 
: The value of the means of ranges is in all cases taken from the observations for 1844 and 1845, as the 
value for 1843 and 1846 is imperfect. 
23. The means for 1843 and 1846 give the same results as the means for 1844 and 1845 for both arguments. 
The observations for 1844 exhibited these laws (see No. 16.) with remarkable distinctness: several single 
| lunations shewed the law with reference to the moon’s age very clearly; from these it appeared, that the varia- 
tion of the diurnal range was greatest for the lunations about the equinoxes and, in connection with the first of 
the conclusions above, when the sun and moon were in opposition near the equator. (See volume for 1844 
p. 336.) The conclusions from the 2d part of Table 10 are analogous to those already found, No. 12. for the 
Sun’s declination, and the results for both bodies may be stated thus :—The diurnal range of magnetic declina- 
on is less when the body (sun or moon) has its greatest northerly and southerly declination than at the 
rmediate periods; being greatest at the two epochs when the body is rather north of the equator. The 
Variation of diurnal range in the lunar periods is as great as, or greater than, for the year, the means of 12 parts 
# the period in the former being compared with those for the 12 months of the latter. 


’ 4 24. Variation of the Mean Difference of a Single Observation from the Monthly Mean for the corresponding 
| Hours, with reference to the Moon’s Age and Declination—tThe results for the two years 1844 and 1845 from 
Table XV., 1844, p. 347, and Table XII., p. 7 of this volume, are given in Table 11. 

The conclusions from Table 11 are almost identical with those from Table 10.

MAG. AND MET. obs. 1845 anv 1846. e 


Xx GENERAL RESULTS OF THE MAKERSTOUN OBSERVATIONS. 


1st, The departure of the declination magnet, at any hour, from the monthly mean position, for the same 
hour, is greatest two or three days after opposition, and it is least about the time of conjunction. 

2d, The departure of the declination magnet, at any hour, from its monthly mean position, for the same 
hour, is least when the moon is farthest north, a minimum also occurring after the greatest southerly declina- 
tion ; it is greatest about 4 days after the moon is farthest north, a maximum also occurring about 4 days before 
that epoch. 

25. There are slight irregularities in the resulting means of Table 11, which are to be expected where only two 
years’ observations are considered. The variations of these differences are rather less for the period compre- 
hending the moon’s changes of declination, than for that comprehending the sun’s ; the means for 2 or 3 days — 
of the former being compared with those for the 12 months in the latter; if the mean difference for June, 
however, be neglected, the variations for the lunar period are quite as great as those for the solar period.

DIURNAL VARIATIONS FOR THE MAGNETIC DECLINATION. 


26. Diurnal Variation of Westerly Declination,—The discussions for 1843 and 1844 will be found in the — 
volumes for these years; the tables for 1845 and 1846 are contained in this volume, pages 4 and 31. Table 
12 is formed from a combination of all the ordinary daily observations made in these years in the following 
manner. Let A and C be the means from the 4 years’ observations for two hours at 7 hours interval, the in- 
termediate hours having less than 4 years’ observations, a and ¢ the means from the observations for 1844 and 
1845 at the corresponding hours ; b,, the mean for the nt hour after a, for which there are less than 4 years’ 
observations ; then B,,the mean for the same hour referred to the means A and C has been obtained by the 
formula 


where 0’, = b, —a — A. 


27. Between 175 10™ and 95 10™, Makerstoun mean time, only the even hours have not had observations 
for 4 years; for these even hours, therefore, 1 = 2, n = 1, and the formula is reduced to 


IN Se CPE Se 
5 : 


B-—b= 


For 22" 10™, 02 10™, and 6h 10™, b depends on 8 years’ observations, 1844, 1845, and 1846, and so thea 
fore do a bad ein the formula for these hours ; and in November and Decanher the mean fart 22h 10™ is d 4 


duced from 4 years’ observations (see foot-note, p. xi.) This reduction is evidently the simplest and least exact- 
ing that could be made. 


DIURNAL VARIATIONS FOR THE MAGNETIC DECLINATION. XX1

. Daily Observations made during the Four Years 1843 to 1846.

28. From Table 12 we find that the north end of the declination magnet is most westerly throughout the year 
ween Oh 20™ p.w., and 1" 25™ p.m., the epochs in apparent time for each month being as follow :— 


° Jan. Feb. March. April. May. June. July. Aug. Sept. Oct. Nov. Dec. 
0h 50m 0250" Oh55m JhJOm Jhj5m JhQ5m jJhOm OhH5Om™ Oh Om Oh 45m Oh 35m Oh 50m 


Tt appears, therefore, that the maximum westerly declination occurs farthest after apparent noon in the months 
April, May, and June; and that it occurs soonest after apparent noon in September, October, and Novem- 


e are as follow :— 


Feb. March. April. May. June. July. Aug. Sept. Oct. Nov. Dec. 
108 50m 9b 45m 10 50m 19" 40m 18> 50™ 181 20m 19h 5m 18h 25m Bh 10m 115 10m 102 20m gh 50m 


30. These epochs are considerably less certain than those for the maximum, especially when they occur be- 
en 92 10™ and 17 10™, as they depend upon only two years’ observations. The principal minimum occurs 
een 8" and 11" p.m. in the months from September till March, in the latter month the westerly declina- 
n at 8> a.m. differs little from that at 11" p.m.: in the remaining months the minimum occurs between 
-20™ and 7) 40™ a.m. The morning minimum occurs earliest in June and August; the evening minimum 
curs earliest in September. 
81. Secondary maxima and minima of westerly declination are shewn with moderate distinctness in some 
months, but the epochs vary so much from one month to the next as to render it doubtful whether they are other- 
wise than accidental : clearer results may be expected from the combinations of the means for two or three 
nonths, if sufficient care be taken that only those months are combined which exhibit’ separately similar cha- 
| Tacteristics. A careful examination of the projected means, seems to shew the combinations employed for the 
following Table, as those best fitted for exhibiting distinctly the changing character of the diurnal variation.

33. The form of the diurnal curve is the same for each of the periods of three months; the westerly declina- 
tion decreases regularly from the maximum till about 8" p.m., whereas in the curves for the summer months, 
the rate of decrease receives a check about 5" or 6" p.m. (see Plate I.) No secondary maximum or minimum 
is shewn in these means, but the magnet is nearly stationary for several hours in each case, namely from — 
85 to 11" p.m. in the months from September to February; from 8" p.m. till 64 a.m. in the mean for March — 
and April, from midnight till 3" a.m. in May and June; and from 9» p.m. till 3 a.m. in June and July. The 
magnet is stationary for nearly twelve hours about the 23d of March: the transposition of the minimum of 
westerly declination from before midnight till about 8" a.m. takes place very gradually in March and Apmil; 
this does not appear to be the case, however, in the return of the minimum from 7" a.m. to before midnight, 
which oceurs about three weeks before the autumnal equinox. 

34. When we examine the diurnal curve deduced from the observations for the whole year (Plate I.), we ob- 
serve a secondary maximum of westerly declination occurring at 2" 40™ 4.m., nearly equal minima oceurring at 
11" p.m. and 65 a.m.; this secondary maximum is evidently due to the occurrence of the minimum for one — 
half of the year about 10" p.m., and for the other half about 7" a.m.; The mean for the year therefore does not 
represent, as far as these results are concerned, a real phenomenon ; it is a combination of two distinct results. 

35. The previous conclusions are obtained from the means of all the regular daily observations ; no observa- 
tion has been rejected how ever much affected by magnetic irregularity ; we have still to inquire therefore to 
what extent irregular causes change the diurnal variation. A method has been already proposed and employed — 


DIuRNAL VARIATIONS FOR THE MAGNETIC DECLINATION. XX1il 


(Makerstoun Observations for 1844, p. 339) for the determination of this question; namely, by the selection of 

those days in each month which appear to have been nearly unaffected by irregular disturbance; a method 
which it is conceived is considerably preferable to that of rejecting only those days affected with large magnetic 
irregularity. The variations for ten days in each month of 1844 will be found p. 339 in the volume for that 
year, and for seven days in each month of 1845, p. 5 of the present volume; from these two Tables the follow- 
ing Table has been formed :—

37. The principal results from the undisturbed series for the diurnal variation are as follow :— 

In the quarter, September to November, the minimum of westerly declination is shewn with nearly equal 
distinctness at night and in the morning; a well-marked secondary maximum occurring at 2 a.m.: a similar 
result is exhibited in the following quarter; the morning minimum, however, being less distinctly marked than 
that in the evening. In both cases we find, in opposition to what has been previously conjectured, that the 
removal of days of disturbance causes the distinct exhibition of a morning maximum previously masked by dis- 
turbance. The means for each month from September to February shew the secondary maximum; it is seen 
with least distinctness in January. In the couples of months from March till August, no secondary maximum 
is shewn, the north end of: the magnet moves eastwards from about 1" p.m. till 74 or 85 a.m., but with less 

velocity between 5" p.m. and 3" a.m., than before the former and after the latter hour.

XXIV. GENERAL RESULTS OF THE MAKERSTOUN OBSERVATIONS. 


38. Diurnal Variation of the Effect of Disturbance on the Mean Declination—When we deduce the 
yearly mean declination from the days selected as free from intermittent disturbance (No. 35.) we obtain the _ 
following results :— 


Mean Declination from all the hourly observations in 1844, = 26° 106, 1845, 9 25-1 a2 
pe teaase odes career from the hourly observations in the selected 120 days of 1844, = 25° 17°08

The effect of disturbances, therefore, on the yewly mean position may be considered zero. When we compare 
the monthly means, as deduced from the 10 days selected in each month of 1844 and the 7 days selected in 
each month of 1845, with those deduced from all the hourly observations, we find that the average difference 
(independent of sign) for the monthly means in these two years is about 0’-2 ; a difference which may be referred 
with more probability to the effects of regular laws, or the fewness of the observations, than to the effect of — 
intermittent disturbance, which is zero on the yearly mean. It is evident, therefore, that, for the purpose of 
the present discussion, we may assume, with little probable error, that the monthly mean from both series has 
the same value (as in Tables 13 and 14), and take the differences of the hourly means in the two series as 
measures of the effect of disturbance; any possible error in this assumption can affect the values of the dif- — 
ferences but slightly ; the epochs of the maximum and minimum would still remain unaltered. In this man- 
ner the following Table has been formed :—

XXV1 GENERAL RESULTS OF THE MAKERSTOUN OBSERVATIONS. 


41. If we consider the mean position as deduced from all the observations in each month, we find that the — 
number of observations for which the declination was to the west, is least from 6" a.m. to 10" a.m., and greatest 
from 6" p.m. to 105 p.m,; the reverse of course holding for the deviations to the east : if, however, we consider — 
the hourly mean position deduced from the days selected free from disturbance, we find that the number of — 
westerly observations is greatest from about 9" a.m. till noon, and that it is least from 8 p.m. till 1" a.m.; which 
result is nearly the reverse of the other. As the maximum effect of disturbance, in increasing the westerly 
declination (No. 36), occurs about the same time as the maximum frequency of westerly excursions from the 
undisturbed position (as seen in the second result), the displacement westerly of the mean position, by dis- 
turbance, reduces the number of westerly excursions from that position to a minimum (as seen in the first 
result). The same explanation applies to the other epoch. 


Diurnal Variation of the Sums of Disturbances of the Hourly values of Magnetic Declination in 1844 and 
1845.—The following table contains the sums, for 100 observations, of the deviations of the north end of the 
declination magnet from the monthly mean positions at the corresponding hours, the latter bemg deduced from

43. Diurnal Variation of the Mcan Excursions of the Declination Magnet, from the Monthly Mean Positions 
for each Hour, from the Observations for 1844 and 1845.—In the previous investigations, we have considered 
the effect of irregular disturbance on the hourly mean position, the frequency of positive and negative excur- 
sions, and the sums of the latter referred to the hourly means of selected days ; we have still to consider the 
mean values of the excursions which may evidently follow different laws from the sums, as the latter may de- 
pend upon both the number and mean value. Table 18 has been formed in the following manner: Half the 
sums of the differences of the hourly observations from the monthly means for the corresponding hours being 
positive and half negative, half the sums were divided by the number of positive excursions to obtain the first 
‘portion of Table 18, and by the number of negative excursions to obtain the second portion; the third portion 
is obtained by dividing the whole sums by the whole number of observations. Table 19 has been formed simi- 
larly, excepting that the sums of the positive and negative disturbances are unequal (See Makerstoun Observa- 
ms for 1844, p. 350). The quantities in Table 18 have been termed mean differences, those in Table 19, 
an disturbances ; the former being related to the means for all the observations, the latter to the means of 
undisturbed days. The epochs of maximum and minimum are nearly the same for both Tables ; those from 
Table 19 only are given, as it is the best exponent of the laws with reference to approximate normal mean 
positions.

XXVlli GENERAL RESULTS OF THE MAKERSTOUN OBSERVATIONS. 


lst, The average westerly excursion from the mean position for the hour is greatest in the winter and 
spring quarters about 1 or 22 p.m.; and about 8" a.m, in the summer and autumn quarters, although the 
values vary little in the summer quarter from 4" a.m. to 1" p.m., and in the autumn quarter a secondary 
maximum occurs at 3" p.m. 7 
2d, The average easterly excursion is least about 8) a.m, in each quarter, with the exception of summer, 
in which it is equally small at 5> p.m.: the average easterly excursion from the hourly mean of all the obser- — 
vations (Table 18) has the minimum decidedly marked at 6" p.m. 
3d, The minimum westerly excursion occurs about 9} p.m. in all the quarters. “f 
4th, The maximum easterly excursion occurs earliest in winter, about 6” p.M., and latest in summer, — 
namely after midnight; while in the equinoctial quarters it occurs betwixt these epochs, the values varying 4 
little from 6" p.m. till midnight. q 
5th, The mean excursion, without reference to direction, has its greatest value earliest in winter, about — 
64 p.m.; about 94 and 10 p.m, in the equinoctial quarters; and in summer there are two maxima of nearly — 
equal value, immediately after midnight and at 11" a.m., with a secondary minimum about 6" a.m. 
6th, The mean excursion has its least value about 5" to 6" 4m. in winter and spring; a secondary mini- — 
mum, as noted above, occurs about the same hour in summer, and 45 in autumn; but the actual minimum _ 
occurs, distinctly marked, between 6" and 10" p.m. in summer, and, less distinctly marked, about 5® p.m. in — 
autumn. a 
45. It appears from these results, that the diurnal law of mean disturbance is not constant throughout the 
year, as has been supposed; in fact the law for summer is nearly the reverse of that for winter, while that for 
autumn is nearly intermediate between the two, a secondary maximum occurring in the latter at 92 a.m, In © 
the winter and spring quarters there is a tendency to a secondary minimum about 45 or 5? p.m.

46, Diurnal Variation of the probable error of an Observation of Magnetic Declination.—It appears from 
the previous conclusions, that the best hour to make an observation of magnetic declination in winter and 
spring, is about 6" a.m.; in the summer quarter, from 55 p.m. to 10" p.m.; and in autumn from 4° to 5 P.M. 


DIURNAL VARIATIONS FOR THE MAGNETIC DECLINATION. XX1X 


he least and greatest values of the probable error of an observation from the monthly mean of the hour, for 
akerstoun in 1844 and 1845, were approximately as follow :— 


“Winter, Least Probable Error, 5" a.m. = 08 Greatest Probable Error, 6% p.m. = 1/8

It is obvious, however, that even at the same place the probable error will vary with the year. In 1847, 
the probable error of an observation would have been greatly increased by the excessive magnetic storms of 
¢ year: neglecting these rare and excessive disturbances however, the values given above cannot be far from

47. It appears from this Table, that the mean declination varies with the moon’s hour-angle, as follows :— 


1st, In winter (when the moon is in opposition north of the equator) the maximum of westerly declina- 
tion, for this variation, occurs when the moon is on the meridian of 11", or about an hour before the inferior 
ransit ; the minimum occurs between 4° and 5? before the superior transit. The group for each year gives 
most exactly the same result, but the range of the variation in 1844 was 1’-2, while in 1845 it was under 0’-6. 
2d, In summer the declination needle has a double easterly and westerly motion. 


The maximum westerly declination occurs about 24 hours after the superior transit. 
The minimum westerly declination occurs about 6 hours before the superior transit. 
A maximum westerly declination occurs at the inferior transit. 

A minimum westerly declination occurs about 8 hours after the superior transit. 


The results for the summer lunations in the two years agree to a considerable extent ; the maximum at 
inferior transit, however, is not nearly so distinctly marked in 1845 as in 1844, The range of the varia- 
ions for the summer lunations in the two years, is for 1844 = 0-9, for 1845 = 0'8 nearly. 

_ 3d, The result from the lunations during the whole year, is a combination of the two results previously 
The principal maximum occurs at the inferior transit, and the principal minimum about 6 hours after it. 
Several single lunations confirm the accuracy of these conclusions. See the volume for 1844, pp. 342, 343.

HoriIzONTAL COMPONENT OF MAGNETIC FORCE. 


48. The observations in connection with this element are of two classes :—1st, Observations for the abso- 
lute value of the component, made by the method of Gauss ; and, 2d, Observations of the bifilar magnetometer for 
the variations of the component. The observations for the absolute value were made with two different instru 
ments ; first, from 1843 till April 1846, with a 15-inch deflecting bar, by Gauss’s original method; and — 
second, after April 1846, with 3-65-inch deflecting cylinders, by Dr Lamont’s modification of Gauss’s method: 
the whole processes have been already described in the Introductions to the different volumes of Makerstour 
Observations. The followmg Table contains the computed values of (X) the horizontal component corre- 
sponding to the reading of the bifilar magnetometer at the time of vibration, and also the values reduced to the 
mean reading of the bifilar for the year of the observations ; to these are affixed approximate weights, depending 


upon the number and agreement of the partial results, and employed in obtaining the mean in the last column :

1843 and 1846 ; those for the small bar exhibit a similar fact, although the considerable difference between the 
results for June 19 and October 11, 1849, throw some doubt on the amount of increase. K

51. Monthly Mean Values of the Variations of the Horizontal Component.—The horizontal force has in- 
reased in the greater number of cases from month to month; in March or April, and in August or September, 
he mean is generally less than in the immediately preceding months. The means for 1848 and 1849 are consi- 
erably less accurate than those for the preceding years, depending as they do on only two daily observations ; 
nd the means for the end of 1846 and for 1847 are much affected by excessive disturbance.

52. Table 32 contains the yearly means of the quantities in Table 22, together with the resulting yearly 
es of the secular change. The secular change appears to have been very large in the years 1842 to 1844, 
onsiderably smaller and more regular in the years from 1844 to 1847; the change from 1847 to 1848 is 
ler, and that from 1848 to 1849 is greater, than for each of the preceding three years. It is not impro- 
le that the change from 1842 to 1844 is increased by instrumental causes, such as stretching of the sus- 
sion wires of the magnet, while the variation of the changes in 1847-9 is evidently connected with the great 
urbances of the year 1847-8. If we take the mean yearly secular change from 1845 till 1849, as probably 
flected by instrumental error, we find it = 0-:001318, the horizontal component being unity ; or, if we take 
absolute value of the horizontal component, = 3-388, we find—

By the observations for the absolute force (Table 21), = + 0-00388 


Such a near agreement is, perhaps, more than could have been expected: if the observations with the small | 
deflecting bar were neglected (No. 49), the agreement would be even greater. 6 
54. It has been shewn, No. 38, that when we deduce the yearly mean declination from the days which ve 
selected as little affected by intermittent disturbances, the result is almost precisely the same as that deduced 
from the whole ordinary observations, and therefore from the days disturbed ; a similar comparison being made 
for the horizontal component, we find as follows :— 


The yearly mean of the horizontal component, as deduced from the 120 days selected as nearly free from disturbance, — 


In 1844, is greater than that deduced from all the hourly observations of the year by 0-000189.

The effect of disturbance in both years was to diminish the mean value of the horizontal component on the 
average by 0000172 of the whole component. It was found for 1844 (see the volume for that year, p. 365) _ 
that a more careful selection of 60 days (5 in each month) shewed even a greater effect of disturbance, namely 
0:000251 for that year. '

56. The mean result for the six years 1842 to 1847, given in the last column of Table 24, is probably to 
be most depended on for an accurate exhibition of the mean annual law, the means for 1848 and 1849 being 
deduced from too few observations. The mean for the six years 1842 to 1847 shews, that the horizo 
component at Makerstoun was a maximum at the summer solstice, and also at the winter solstice ; that it was” 
a minimum shortly after the autumnal, and shortly after the vernal equinox.* This result is shewn with

# This law, as deduced from the Makerstoun Observations for 1842, was stated to the Physical Section of the British Associa’ 
in June 1845, confirmed by a rediscussion of observations made at Toronto in 1842: it has since been confirmed by the obseryati 
made in the successive years at Makerstoun, and, as has been shewn in the Makerstoun Observations for 1844 (foot-note p. 357), by 


ANNUAL VARIATIONS FOR THE HORIZONTAL COMPONENT. XXXIll 


considerable distinctness in each of the six years ; the variations from it are not greater than might be expected 
when we take into account the large effect of disturbances, the irregular value of the secular change in some 
years, and in others the fewness of the daily observations, and consequent imperfect nature of the corrections. 
These corrections, as deduced from the observations for 1844 and 1845, vary so much as to account fully for 
many of the minor differences from the mean law in the years 1842 to 1847, and for even the larger differences 
in the years 1848 and 1849. Upon the whole the summer maximum appears rather greater than the winter 
maximum, and the autumnal minimum than the spring minimum ; although as thisis not the case in the mean 
for the first four years (column 10, Table 24), and as very large disturbances occurred in the end of the years 
1846 and 1847, which probably iiereased the autumn minimum of these years, this difference in the minima 
i is perhaps accidental, and might be removed or considerably diminished in a larger series of observations. 

57. When we compare the monthly means, as deduced from the 10 days selected in each month as least 
af affected by irregular disturbances, with those deduced from all the hourly observations in the same months, we 
find the latter less (—) or greater (+ ) than the former, by the following quantities :—

In each month, with the exception of June, the mean deduced from the undisturbed days is greater than 
that deduced from all the observation days ; and the excess is ereatest in March and October, the months of 
greatest disturbance : the effect of disturbance on the means for. the months of May, June, and J uly, is very 
small, nearly zero. 

58. As the above effects of disturbance seem to obey a law similar to that of the annual period of the 
mean, it will be interesting to consider the law for the latter, as deduced from the nearly undisturbed 10 days 
selected in each month of the years 1844 and 1845. The following are the mean variations, deduced from all 
the daily observations in 1844 and 1845, as in Table 24.

The monthly means, deduced from 10 nearly undisturbed days in each month of the two years, give the 
ne law as has already been deduced from the means of all the observations (as in Table 24): in the undis- 
bed means, the maximum at the winter solstice is rendered more marked, and it appears probable that the 
erence between the values of the two maxima may be wholly a result of disturbance, which appears to 
inish the winter means considerably, while it rather tends to increase those at midsummer. When a more 
eful selection of undisturbed days is made, as in that of five days in each month of 1844, (see p. 365 of the 
ume for that year) it is found, that the effect of disturbance in diminishing the winter means, and in increas- 
i@ the summer means, is even more considerable than that found above No. 57.

The value of this confirmation of the Makerstoun Jaw is increased by the fact, that the Munich instrument has a unifilar suspen-

59. The following are the conclusions from Table 25. 


1st, The daily mean value of the horizontal component is both most in excess and most in defect of i 
monthly mean value in April, and in the months from August to November; while the smallest departures 
from the monthly means occur about the solstices. 

2d, The average negative departure is greater than the average positive departure, in every month of the 
year wath two exceptions, February and August, and the excess of ‘the former over the latter is greatest in Ap 1 
and December. a 

3d, As both the positive and negative departures obey nearly the same law, we in consequence find, as in 
the last column of Table 25, that the greatest departures of the daily means from the monthly means occur 
immediately after the equinoxes, and the least departures immediately after the solstices. We may generaliz 
this result (as in the case of the magnetic declination, No. 11, 4th) thus :—The differences of the daily means o} 
the horizontal component of magnetic force from the monthly means were a maximum when the horizon al 
component was least, and a minimum when it was greatest.

ANNUAL VARIATIONS FOR THE HORIZONTAL COMPONENT OF MAGNETIC FORCE. xxxv 


— 60. Annual Variation of the Diurnal Range of the Horizontal Component of Magnetic Force.—The means 
_ for 1844 and 1845 only, in Table 26, are comparable with each other. From the last line of Table 26 we find 
that the mean daily range was least in the months of December, January, and February, and less in May and 
_ June than in April, July, and August. These mean ranges are deduced from the ordinary daily observations. 
When we seek for the absolute ranges, as obtained from all the extra observations made in the years 1844 and 
1845 (Table LX. 1844, p. 400, and Table L. p. 28 of this volume), we obtain the following numbers (prefix 

0:00) :—

1844, 2943 3811 6193 6234 5088 3802 4538 5319 4538 51384 6556 2965

_ These numbers follow the same law as those in Table 26, they are, however, considerably larger; the in- 
-erease is most marked in the winter months. From the means of both years we may conclude that the mean 
_ yalue of the diurnal change of the horizontal component of magnetic force at Makerstoun in years of moderate 
disturbance is about 0:0057 in April and August, and about 0:0038 at the solstices, the whole horizontal com- 
- ponent being unity. 


TABLE 27.—Ranges of the Mean Diurnal Variation of the Horizontal Component of Magnetic Force. 


61. Annual Variation of the Ranges of the Monthly Mean Diurnal Variation —From the last line of Table 
27, it appears that the range of the monthly mean diurnal variation is least in December, January, and February, 
and that it is less in June than in May, July, or August. The following are the diurnal ranges of the monthly 
_ mean diurnal variations, as deduced from the 20 days selected as free from irregular disturbance in the 
years 1844 and 1845 :—

62. When we examine the mean diurnal ranges as deduced from all the observations (extra and ordinary) made 
in 1844 and 1845, we find that the means for “March and April, and for August and September, are greater 
than the means for May, June, and July ; when we deduce the mean diurnal range from the regular daily 
_ observations, as in Table 26, then we find only the mean for April greater than the means for May, June, and July, 
the means for July and August being greater than those for May and June. So when we consider the range of 
‘the monthly mean variation as in Table 27, we find the mean for June less than the means for May, July and 
August only ; and, finally, in the ranges last given, deduced from the mean variations of undisturbed days, the 
differences for the months from April to September almost altogether disappear, the excess for July being in 
all probability accidental. This result is similar to that already found for the magnetic declination, and we may 
draw from it a similar conclusion, that the excess of the diurnal range in the equinoctial months over that 
for the midsummer months is due to irregular disturbance. 


63. Annual Variation of the Mean Difference of a Single Observation of the Horizontal Component from the

XXXV1 GENERAL RESULTS OF THE MAKERSTOUN OBSERVATIONS. 


The conclusion deduced from the numbers for 1844, and which has been deduced from those for the magnetic 
declination, No. 16, is also to be obtained from the numbers for 1845, though with less distinctness, owing to 
the large effect of disturbance in January and December of the latter year (See No. 16.) In the mean of both 
years March and April shew the greatest mean difference in the first six months (and for the whole year), and 
August and December the ereatest in the second six months: the least values are those for June and July, and 
for January and February. 

64, From this result, June and July appear the months best fitted for observations of the horizontal com- 
ponent of magnetic force; the probable error of an observation from the mean for the corresponding hour in 
these months being under 0-0003 of the whole horizontal force. 


65. Annual Variation of the Number of Observations which were greater than the Monthly Means for the 
corresponding Houwr.—The numbers of observations in 100 which were greater than the monthly means for 
each month of the years 1844 and 1845 are as follow :— 


Jan. Feb. March. April. May. June. July. Aug. Sept. Oct. Nov. Dec. Mean. 


1844, 53:1 548 60°71 52:1 525 45°77 47:1 4983 543 612 556 596 | 538 
1845, 596 568 569 55°0 53:2 483 508 53:0 53:0 56:2 563 57:3 | 54-7 


Mean, 56:3 55°38 585 535 52°83 47:0 489 514 536 587 559 584] 542 


From these numbers it appears, that in the year there are, in 100 observations, upwards of 8 more in 
excess than in defect of the monthly means for the corresponding hour; that June and July were the only 
months which shewed more observations less than there were greater than the monthly means ; that in March, 
October, and December, the number of observations in excess of the monthly means was greatest, being 17 in 
100 more than those in defect. Upon the whole it appears probable in this, as in the other cases, that the 
numbers for 1844 exhibit the mean annual Jaw with greatest truth, and that the number of positive observa- 
tions is least at the summer solstice, and is greatest near the equinoxes.

—Table 28 has been formed from the detailed Tables in former volumes, and from the Tables pp. 11 and 32 of 2 
this volume. From the means in Table 28 we conclude :— 


lst, That the mean horizontal component is greatest about the time of conjunction, and least about oppo- 
sition, or immediately before and after that epoch. This result is shewn with great distinctness in several single 
lunations in 1844, (see volume for 1844, p. 358 and Plate XIV). 

2d, That the mean horizontal component is a maximum, both when the moon is farthest north, and when 
it is farthest south, and that it is a minimum when the moon is near the equator. This result is shewn with 
considerable distinctness in the variations for both 1844 and 1845 and with some irregularity in 1843 and 
1846; the less value of conclusions from the observations of the two latter years should always be borne in mind.

Variation of the Diurnal Range of the Horizontal Component with reference to the Moon’s Age and De-

this volume. 


67. The conclusions from Table 29 are :— 


1st, That the diurnal range of the horizontal component is greatest about the time of opposition, and 
least about the time of conjunction; in the mean of the 4 years the range varies little from the time that the 
moon is 6 days till it is 20 days old; it also varies little during the remaining half lunation, but the value for 
the former is considerably greater than for the latter. 
2d, In the mean of the 4 years the diurnal range is a maximum about 4 days after the moon has attained 
its greatest north declination; it is a minimum when the moon is farthest north. The means for 1844 and 
o for 1845 indicate a minimum, both when the moon was farthest north and when farthest south, with 
maxima during the intermediate periods ; this result seems to deserve the greatest value, agreeing as it does 
with the conclusion deducible from a comparison of the laws of mean values and ranges, namely, that the 
range of the horizontal component is a maximum when its mean value is least, and wice versa,

diately before and after those stated, a secondary minimum occurring at conjunction, and a secondary maximum 
at opposition ; but these secondary points are probably accidental. 

2d, The departure of the horizontal component from its monthly mean Position for the corresponding hour 
is least when the moon is farthest south and also when farthest north; maxima occurring at the intermediate 
periods (see No. 16).

The diurnal variation of the horizontal component, at Makerstoun, consists of one maximum and one 


minimum in the four months May till August, and of two maxima and two minima in the eight months 
September till April; in each of the four months November till February, the two maxima have nearly equ 
values, and in each of the last three of these, the two minima are also nearly equal; from March till Apn

and from October to September, the morning maximum becomes smaller in comparison with the afternoon 
maximum ; and in May and August there are traces of the former which wholly disappear in June and July. 
The forenoon minimum occurs earliest in August, and before 10" a.m. in the four months from June till Sep- 
tember ; it occurs latest in November and December, and after 10h a.m. in the seven months October till 
April: the afternoon maximum occurs earliest for the first six months of the year, in February, and for the 
last six months, in September ; it occurs latest in June and December. In order to destroy the smaller ir- 
regularities, means for groups of months have been taken; the same groups have been used as those already 
adopted for the magnetic declination (No. 31).

A comparison of these epochs with those deduced from Table 32 will shew, that the effect of disturbance is 
to accelerate the epochs of the forenoon minimum and afternoon maximum, those of the latter being most 
affected. In the undisturbed diurnal variation the afternoon maximum occurs latest in March and April, and 
in July and August. 


72. Diurnal Variation of the Effect of Disturbance on the Horizontal Component.—The following result is 
obtained upon the assumption, that intermittent disturbance which affects the hourly mean position does not 
affect the monthly mean of the 24 hours; or, that the differences found No. 57, between the monthly means of 
the undisturbed days, and of all the days, is due to continuous and regular laws, which have little effect on the 
relative hourly positions ; it appears very probable from No. 58, that this assumption is not quite accurate, but 
that the negative quantities in the following Table are too small, and the positive ones too large; those 
for the summer months, however, must be near the truth, as disturbance had little or no effect on the mean for 


that group: the error in the values for the other periods cannot affect the epochs of positive and negative 
maxima. ”

the months following, till July and August, when it occurs about 5% 40™ a.m.

The numbers in Table 35 present considerable irregularities; two years’ observations appear too few to 
remove these. In the winter and spring quarters, there is a secondary maximum of frequency of positive de-— 
partures about 91 a.m., a secondary 'y minimum occurring in the winter quarter about noon, and in the spring 
quarter about 6" a.m. The variation of the numbers is greatest in the spring and autumn quarters, it is least | 
in summer. Every hour in winter, with one exception, had more observations greater than the montbly mean 
for the hour, than there were less ; in spring and autumn, all the hours had a greater number of positive than 
of negative departures, excepting those from 1" to 5 p.m. The minimum of positive frequency occurs 
about 75 a.m. in winter, but in summer it occurs nearer 7" p.m. The hours of maximum frequency of the — 
positive departures, are obviously those of minimum frequency of negative departures. . 
75. It may be remarked here, that these departures are from the mean position of all the ordinary observa- 
tions. which mean position is more or less affected by disturbance ; could the undisturbed mean position be well — 
ascertained it would probably be found, as it has been in the case of the declination, No. 41, that the hour of 
maximum frequency of the positive departures from the disturbed mean position, is nearly that of their mini- 
mum frequency from the undisturbed mean position ; this, it will be seen, was the case when the selected days” 
were assumed as the normal means, as in 1844. (See volume for 1844, page 372). ‘ 
76. Diurnal Variation of the Mean Differences of the Values of the Horizontal Component from the Monthly 
Mean Values for the corresponding Hours.—Table 36 has been formed in the manner already indicated, No. 
43, for Table 18. The numbers in Table 36 exhibit such considerable irregularities, that it is difficult in some 
cases to determine real secondary points of maximum and minimum from those which may be merely accidental, 
and which might have disappeared in the combination of a larger series of observations ; the following how= 
ever, are the approximate epochs as nearly as they can be determined.

Ist, The average positive difference of an observation of the horizontal component has its maximum and 
Minimum values at the following hours in the means of the four quarters, the times of the principle values being 
distinguished by + and —

A maximum occurs in each quarter between 3" p.m. and 6" p.m., and the minimum occurs in each quarter 
between 2" a.m. and 6" a.m.; there are, however, several points of opposition: thus, the principal minimum 
‘im summer and autumn occurs at the hour of the principal maximum in spring; and one of the two equally- 
marked minima of winter occurs at the same hour as the principal maximum in summer and autumn, and as 
the well-marked secondary maximum in spring. 
2d, The average negative difference has the following epochs of maxima and minima.

’ occurs betwixt 99 a.m. and 14 p.m. The least values of the negative mean difference occurs about the same 
hours in summer as the greatest values occur in winter, namely, between 8" p.m. and midnight.

77. The opposition in the epochs of maximum and minimum is even more considerable for the mean dif- 

_ ference than for its positive and negative elements. We find, as has already been found for the magnetic 
declination, No. 45, that the diurnal law of disturbance of the horizontal component varies with season, and 
that the law for summer is nearly the reverse of that for winter. In summer, the minimum disturbance occurs 
about 8" p.m., which is the hour of the maximum disturbance in winter; in summer, the maximum disturbance 
occurs about 3" p.m., which is the hour of a minimum in winter, which differs little in value from the prinei 
minimum; the law for autumn also differs considerably from that for spring, the least values of the disturbance 
occur in the latter between 6" a.m and 6" p.m., while the greatest values occur in the former between 8" 4m, 
and 4" p.m. 


78. Probable Error of Observations of the Horizontal Component.—At Makerstoun, in years of moderate 
disturbance, the probable error of an observation of the horizontal component from the monthly mean for the 
hour of observation has its least values as follow :— 


Winter, between 4 a.m. and 4" p.m., the probable error being less than 0-0004 of the whole component.

79. The following are the conclusions from Table 37. 
There are four independent results in this Table, two for the winter lunations of 1844 and 1845, and two 
for the summer lunations of the same years; the other columns are derived from these: of the four results 
three give the same law so nearly, that the result for the two years may be derived from either with but hittle 
error in epochs; that result from the last column of the Table is as follows :—

80. The result for the winter lunations of 1844 agrees with this, in shewing a maximum immediately after 
the inferior transit ; but differs from it in having the minimum about the hour of the second maximum for the 
other periods ; this difference, it is conceived, is chiefly the effect of disturbances, as has been found when the 
arger disturbances were eliminated. (See the volume for 1844, p. 365.) 


VERTICAL COMPONENT OF MAGNETIC FORCE. 


81. Observations for the absolute value of the vertical component were made in 1846 in the manner 
described in the Introduction to the Observations for 1844, p. liti. (foot-note), but they have not been reduced ; 

indeed, it is doubtful whether the dimensions of the magnets employed, and the errors of the instrument were 
likely to admit a sufficiently accurate result. We may deduce the absolute value of the vertical component 
from the observations for the horizontal component and magnetic dip; assuming the latter =71° 15’ for the 
year 1845, we find the mean value of the former from the observations with the large deflecting bar (last 
column of Table 21) for the year 1845 =3:'3837 ;—whence the absolute value of the vertical component of 
magnetic force for 1845 =9:9680. The following results are deduced wholly from the observations of the 
balance magnetometer : the variations are given in parts of the whole vertical component assumed equal to unity.

_ __ 82. Table 38 contains the monthly means of the balance magnetometer readings, as deduced from the regular 

daily observations ; these in 1848 and 1849 were only two daily. From 1842 to 1847 the balance needle 
0 eupied a position at right angles to the magnetic meridian ; in 1848 and 1849 its position was in the mag- 
netic meridian. The monthly means diminish with a few exceptions from month to month throughout the 
whole period. The yearly means of the variations and secular changes are given in Table 39.

xlvi GENERAL RESULTS OF THE MAKERSTOUN OBSERVATIONS. 


83. The numbers in the last column of Table 39 have been obtained by comparing the mean of the first six 
months of the year, for which the secular change is sought, with that for the corresponding six months of the 
following year, and the mean for the last six months.with the corresponding months of the preceding year ; the 
mean of the two is taken for the secular change during the year : only one comparison could be made for 1842 
and for 1849. 

84, The vertical component has diminished from year to year ; the value of the secular change has also 
diminished since 1842; the greatest diminution occurring in the year 1846, after which year the value of the 
secular change has not varied greatly : it was least in 1848, and appears as large in 1849 as in 1846. It is 
probable that the apparent secular change is partially, if not wholly, due to loss of magnetism in the needle, 
especially in the first four years. (See the Section Magnetic Dip.) H 

85. When we deduce the yearly value of the vertical component of magnetic force from the days selected as _ 
nearly free from irregular disturbance in 1844 and 1845 (see volume for 1844, p. 384, and Table XXXVIL., 
p- 21, of this volume), and compare these values with those obtained from all the ordinary observations in 
each year, we find, that the yearly mean of the vertical component deduced from the nearly undisturbed days 


In 1844 is greater than that deduced from all the hourly observations of the year, by 0-000021

The effect of disturbance in both years was to diminish the mean value of the vertical component on the 
average by 0:000030. See Nos. 38 and 54. 

86. Annual Period of the Vertical Component.—In the discussion of the observations for 1844 it was found 
that the result for the annual period differed considerably from that obtained for the previous year ; separate 
discussions of the observations for the different years shewed so many differences, that it was concluded that 
the instrument was incapable of exhibiting the law, if any such existed; this conclusion was quite in accordance 
with that previously made by those who had examined the instrument with the greatest care. A combination — 
of the results for several years, however, has rendered it probable that the errors of the instrument or irregu- — 
larities in the law have been eliminated to a considerable extent, and that the true law has been obtained ; this — 
will appear from the following discussion. i 


TABLE 40.—Monthly Variations of the Vertical Component of Magnetic Force, free from Regular 
Secular Change.

Table 40 has been formed in the following manner: The monthly means for the different groups of — 
years having been obtained from Table 38, the means for each group were corrected for secular change in the 
manner described No. 8, the secular change employed being the mean for the respective years in the last 
column of Table 39 ; the numbers in Table 40 are the variations about the yearly mean for each corrected group. 

87. The four years 1843-6 are those best fitted for exhibiting the annual law, the diurnal series of observa- 
tions being sufficiently large to give the monthly mean without any considerable error. The result from this 
group is as follows: The vertical component is a maximum in June and January, and it is a minimum im 
April and October. The remaining four years, especially the years 1848 and 1849, though but indifferently fitted 
to exhibit a law liable to so many irregularities, (owing to the fewness of the observations made daily, and to 
the great magnetic disturbances in the last two years,) yet they exhibit a rough approximation to the same 
result : for this group, the vertical component is a maximum in November and December, a secondary maxi- 
mum occurring in July; andit is a minimum in May and September. The group of six years, 1842-7, includes 
all the years during which a sufficient number of daily observations were made to give moderate approximations 
to the monthly means, and this group indicates a law similar to that from the four years 1843-6. Neglecting 
at present the considerations in favour of the law obtained from the four best years, the chief source of doubt as 
to the value of the result, is to be found in the irregularity and great variation of the secular change to be elimi- 
nated. In order to examine the monthly means free from this objection the following Table has been formed

i. 88. Considering the numbers for the years 1843-6, we find that the mean change of the vertical component 
‘from one month to the next=0-000156, that the diminution in the months from December to March and from 
_ June to October was greater than the mean, while those from March to June and from October to December 
were less ; the other groups give nearly the same result, which is quite in accordance with that from Table 40. 
_ From both Tables we feel entitled to state the following as the annual law,—That the vertical component of 
Beagnetic force is a maximum near the solstices and a minimum near the equinoxes. It will be observed that 
this is precisely the law already deduced for the horizontal component No. 56 ; had it not been for this remark- 
om coincidence in a law with two maxima and two minima, obtained from two instruments of the most different 
principles, the conclusions deduced from the observations of the balance magnet would have been left with 
_ whatever weight they might appear to physicists to deserve ; but it is conceived that the agreement is too con- 
‘siderable and too remarkable to omit adducing it as evidence in estimating the accuracy of this result for 
the vertical component. 
89. If we compare the monthly means deduced from the days selected in each month as nearly free from in- 
termittent disturbance, with those deduced from all the hourly observations in the corresponding months, we 
d the latter less (—) or greater (+) by the following quantities.

| The numbers differ considerably in some cases for the same month in the two years; a greater number 
Sor partial results are therefore evidently required for a good mean. The mean of both years shews, that the dis- 
| turbed means were greater than the undisturbed in November, December, and February (or, about the winter 
solstice), and less in all the other months, the diminution being greatest in March, May, and August. 
5 Differences of the Daily Means of the Vertical Component from the Means for the corresponding Months.— 
_ The discussion for 1844 will be found in the volume for that year, p. 374, the results for 1845 and 1846 
| are obtained from Tables XXXI. and LXIII., pages 18 and 35 of this volume. 
| * 90. The conclusions from Table 42 are :— 
1st, That the positive departures of the daily mean vertical component from the monthly mean value are 
_Breatest in September and in February, and that they are least in January and June. 
_ 2d, That the negative departures of the daily mean from the monthly mean are greatest in September, 
Tanuary, and May, and least in March and July. 
| _ 3d, That the mean positive departure 1 is most in excess of the mean negative departure in February, while 
the latter is most in excess of the former in J anuary, and in the months from March to June ; with the excep- 
tion of February, the mean negative departure is greater than the mean positive departure in the first six months 
| of the year ; and, with the exception of August, the reverse is the case for the last six months. 
4th, That the mean departure of the daily mean from the monthly mean (without reference to sign) is 
| greatest in September, and least in March. 
5th, The mean departure of the daily mean vertical component from the monthly mean for 1844 = 0-000105

91. Annual Variation of the Diurnal Ranges of the Vertical Component of Magnetic Force.— From the num- ‘ 
bers in Table 438, it appears, that the diurnal range of the vertical component is greatest at the equinoxes, and — 
that it is least at the solstices. The values in Table 43 are deduced from the ordinary daily observations in — 
the various years. When we consider the diurnal ranges from all the observations made in each of the years — 
1844 and 1845 (in the manner already noted for the magnetic declination No. 12), we obtain the following 
means for the several months in each year, (prefix 0-00.) 7

those for the same years deduced from the ordinary daily observations, but the increase is considerably | 
than in the cases of the magnetic declination and horizontal component.

Annual Variation of the Ranges of the Monthly Mean Diurnal Variation of the Vertical Component.— 
In the previous Table we have given the monthly means of the diurnal ranges observed for each day, the follow-

‘comparable with each other.

92. The last line of Table 44, which is deduced from observations for the four years, as in Table 48, shews 
| the law already obtained from Table 43, but in a more marked manner. In the corresponding discussions for the 
| declination (No. 14) and for the horizontal component (No. 62), it was found that in the combination of four 
| years’ observations, the differences between the diurnal range at the summer solstice, and for the preceding and 
| succeeding months, was considerably diminished ; this is not the case for the vertical component; the range at 
| the equinoxes of the hourly mean variation is nearly three times the range at the solstices. When, however, 
| we consider the ranges of the hourly mean variation, as deduced from days selected nearly free from disturbances, 

we obtain a result similar to that for the other elements. The following are the ranges of the hourly means for 
‘each month deduced from the selected days in 1844 and 1845 (see 1844, p. 379, and p. 21 of this volume) :—

é 
From these it appears, that the diurnal range of the mean variation, when unaffected by intermittent disturb- 
| ance, varies little from March to October, the irregularities in the values being due in all probability to dis- 
turbance remaining in the selected days. 
7 93. On the whole it is evident for all the three elements, that the law of the variation with season of the 
| range of the hourly variations when unaffected by intermittent disturbance is as follows :—A gradual increase 
trom the winter solstice till the vernal equinox, little variation from the vernal till the autumnal equinox, and 
a gradual decrease from thence till the winter solstice. Intermittent disturbances increase the diurnal range 
‘greatly at the equinoxes, and more at the winter solstice than at the summer solstice. 


94. Annual Variation of the Mean Difference of a Single Observation of the Vertical Component from the 
| Monthly Mean at the corresponding Houwr.—The following mean differences have been obtained from Table L. 
| 1844, p. 389, and Table XLI. p. 23 of this volume :—

(see No. 16).

lst, That the vertical component is a maximum at the quadratures, and a minimum at conjunction and 
at opposition ; the principal maximum occurs about 7 days after opposition, and the secondary maximum about — 
the difference of the values of the two maxima is due chiefly to the year 1846, 
the only year which does not exhibit two maxima and two minima. a

This result is shewn, though with some irregularity, in the numbers for each year, 
should be remembered, in glancing over these Tables, that the number which indicates a maximum may have — 
the negative sign, and ‘that which indicates a minimum may have the positive sign; thus, in 1845 the pre 

cipal maximum occurs about 4 days after the moon’s greatest south declination, the secondary maximum 0 
when the moon is farthest north, and the minima oceur when the moon is about 3 days north of the equator. —

DIURNAL VARIATIONS FOR THE VERTICAL COMPONENT OF MAGNETIC FORCE. li 


97. From Table 46 we conclude, 
1st, That the diurnal range of the vertical component is greatest immediately after opposition, and that 


it is least about conjunction ; there is the appearance of a secondary maximum at conjunction in three of the 


years, and in the means of all. 
2d, That the diurnal range is 2 minimum when the moon is farthest south, and also when it is farthest 
north, and that it is a maximum when the moon is north of the equator.

98. Variation of the Mean Difference of a Single Observation from the Monthly Mean for the corresponding 


Hour, with reference to the Moon’s Age and Declination.—Table 47 has been formed from Table 41, p. 386, 


1844, and Table XLIL., p. 23, of this volume. The conclusions from Table 47 are nearly the same as those 
already made for the diurnal range, No. 97, they are as follow :— 


1st, The mean difference of an observation of the vertical component from the monthly mean for the 
‘corresponding hour is a maximum about the time of opposition, and a minimum before and after conjunction, 
a secondary maximum occurring at conjunction. 

2d, The mean difference is a minimum when the moon is farthest north, and also when farthest south, 
maxima occurring between these epochs. 

The differences of the results for the single years from those for the mean of both are not greater than 
might be expected in such an investigation ; the general agreement of the results, however, with those for the 
diurnal ranges deduced from four years’ observations is a confirmation of their accuracy. 


DIURNAL VARIATIONS FOR THE VERTICAL COMPONENT OF MAGNETIC FORCE. 


Diurnal Variation of the Vertical Component.—The following Table has been formed in the manner 
already described for the magnetic declination, No. 26; the means from which it has been formed will be 
found in the previous volumes, and in this volume, pages 20 and 37.

from Table 48.

The principal maximum occurs between 4° p.m. and 7" p.m. ineach month of the year; it occurs earliest in 
| February and March of the first six months of the year, and in October and September of the remaining 
months ; it occurs latest in January and December ; and later in June than in the immediately preceding and 
succeeding months. A minimum occurs between midnight and 4” a.m. throughout the year, which is the prin- 


| cipal minimum excepting in June.

| 


Only one maximum and minimum occur in the diurnal variation for the four winter months, November to 
February ; ; in the other months a secondary minimum occurs about noon, which becomes more distinct the nearer 
the time is to the summer solstice, when that minimum is better marked than the other near midnight.

- 101. When we consider the diurnal variation as deduced from days selected as nearly free from inter- 
mittent disturbance (No. 85), and as exhibited in the means, Table 50, and the dotted curves, Plate III., we 
md that the epochs of maximum are considerably altered as well as the whole form of the diurnal curve. 
he epochs of maxima and minima in apparent time are as follow :— 


Dec. Jan. Feb. March, April, May, June, July, Aug. Sept. Oct. Nov. 
35 40™ p.m. 55 10™ p.m. 65 Om p.m. 55 10™ p.m. 4h 10™ p.m.

Oh 20™ p.m. 0» Om Noon. 0» 20™ p.m. Oh 5™ pM. 


| Hence, in the undisturbed diurnal variation, the maximum of the vertical component occurs earliest in the 
| es December to February, and latest in the months May and June. 

| _ The form of the diurnal curve is quite different in the months November to February, from that for the 
other months : in the four winter months the diurnal curve is single, having but one maximum and minimum, 


liv GENERAL RESULTS OF THE MAKERSTOUN OBSERVATIONS. 


the latter occurring about 7 a.m., which is nearly the epoch of a maximum in the other months: in the months 
from March to September the diurnal curve is double, the maxima having nearly the same value in each 
month, and the minima also being nearly equal ; the form of the diurnal curve from March to September is 
nearly constant ; in October the morning maximum becomes less marked, and it wholly disappears in Novem- 


ber. In June the minima occur almost exactly at apparent midnight and noon, that at the latter time being — 


on the whole best marked; the maxima occur when the sun is near the prime vertical. 


102. Diurnal Variation of the Effect of Disturbance on the Mean Vertical Component.—The following 


Table contains the mean effect of disturbance upon the hourly means in each group of months, the assumption 


being made that the effects of disturbance upon the means of the groups of months are zero ; it will be seen 
from Nos. 89 and 85 that the means of the days selected as free from disturbance, are rather greater — 
than the means for all the days ; while this difference may be partially due to regular laws, it is also so small, — 


compared with the actual differences in the following Table, that the epochs for the zero of effect would 


be little altered if it were taken into account. It will be seen also that the epochs for each group vary little, — 


though the effect of disturbance, as found No. 89, differs considerably in the different groups; thus, for the 
group December to February, the mean for all the selected days is 0:000005 greater than the mean for all the 
days, while the mean of the selected days in March and April is 0:000061 less than the mean for all.

Throughout the year, therefore, the greatest effect of disturbance in increasing the vertical component occurs 
near 65 p.m. or about the epoch of the maximum for the mean value, No. 100. 
2d, The greatest effect of disturbance in diminishing the vertical component occurs

The greatest effect in diminishing the vertical component occurs throughout the year between 13 and 3} 
A.M., or rather after the epoch of the principal minimum for the mean value, No. 100. Irregular disturbance, 
therefore, has the same effect on the value of the vertical component as the cause producing the regular diurnal 
variation.

Diurnal Variation of Frequency of the Positive Departures from the Hourly Mean Positions.—The number 
of observations which were in excess of the hourly mean for each month in 1844 and 1845 having been ob- 
tained, the means for groups of months were taken, and the following Table was formed.

It appears, therefore, that the number of positive departures from the mean of all the observations for the 
hour is least about 5" p.m., or about the time that the effect of disturbance in increasing the hourly mean is 
Greatest, and that the number is greatest when the effect of disturbance in diminishing the hourly mean is least, 
No. 103: the effect of disturbance on the hourly mean position is so considerable when compared with the 
whole diurnal variation, that it is evident that the number of departures from the undisturbed positions must 
have their maximum about 5” p.m. and their minimum about 25—3" a.m.

Mean Positive Difference. 


Mean Negative Difference. 


106. The mean positive difference has two maxima and two minima in each quarter excepting winter ; the 
principal maximum occurs between 5) and 6" p.m.; in summer the two maxima have an equal value; the 
values of the two minima differ little. 

107. The mean negative difference has two maxima and two minima in each quarter; the principal maxi- 


mum occurs between 2h and 3" a.m. ; 


in winter the two maxima differ little in value ; in the other quarters the 


secondary maximum is very small compared with the other; the values of the two minima in each quarter 


differ little. 


108. It appears, therefore, that the principal maximum of the mean positive difference occurs at the same— 


time as the secondary maximum of the mean negative difference, and vice versa. 


It seems probable that if differ- 


ences were taken with reference to mean wndisturbed positions, the secondary maximum would disappear m 
each case; thus, if we consider that the effect of disturbance is to increase the mean vertical component to a 
large extent about 6" p.m. (No. 103, 1s¢), it is obvious that both the value and the number of the negative 
departures from this increased mean will be greater than if the undisturbed mean were taken as the zero, It was 
accordingly found in the discussion of the observations for 1844, (pp. 388, 389), when the mean position was 
employed as deduced from the days selected nearly free from intermittent disturbance, that the maximum of 


- 


“4

the mean positive disturbance occurred about 6" p.m., the minimum between 11" p.m. and 8" a.m.; that the 
maximum of the mean negative disturbance occurred about 2? a.m. and the minimum about 6" p.m., although 
the values varied little between noon and 8 p.m. 

109. The approximate epochs of maxima and minima for the mean disturbance, independent of sign, (indi- 
cating the principal maximum by + and minimum by—), are as follow :— 


Min. Max. Min. Max 
Winter—Nov. Dec. Jan. —115 a.m. +65 pM. gh pm. 1h a.m.

Autumn—<Aug. Sept. Oct. —11) aM. 55 P.M. 83" P.M. +33" a.m. 


It has been seen that the positive disturbance has its maximum about 5%—6" p.m., and the negative dis- 


turbance its maximum about 2" 4.m., so it appears now that the mean disturbance, independent of sign, has a 
maximum near both hours. 

110. In winter the secondary maximum, about 1" 4.M., is very indistinctly marked ; in summer the second- 
ary maximum, about 5” p.m., is very small compared with the other; the principal minimum occurs in winter 
about 11" a.m.; that at 10" p.m. is best marked in summer. In this case also, as in the cases of the magnetic 
declination, No. 45, and the horizontal component, No. 77, the diurnal variation of the magnetic disturbance 
ijn summer is nearly the reverse of that in winter. The diurnal variation of the disturbance is very nearly the 
same in spring as in autumn.

111. Variation of the Vertical Component with reference to the Moon’s Hour-Angle.—There are four 
independent results in Table 54, namely two for the winter lunations, and two for the summer lunations of 
1844 and 1845, the others depend on these. In all the four the maximum vertical component occurs between 
2 and 4 hours after the moon’s transit of the inferior meridian ; in three cases a secondary maximum occurs at, 
or shortly after the superior transit,—minima occurring during the intermediate period, from 6 to 8 hours after, 
and from 2 to 4 hours before, the superior transit; in the winter lunations for 1844, only the principal maxi- 
mum and minimum are shewn (see the similar case for the horizontal component No. 80), and, as the variations 
for this group are much greater than for any of the others, it is probable that the difference is due to disturb- 
ances. See the volumes for 1844, p. 382, where the elimination of the larger disturbances leaves traces of a 
secondary maximum and minimum. 

112. From the means of all the winter lunations in Table 54 


The vertical component is a maximum about 2 hours after the moon’s inferior transit.

lviii GENERAL RESULTS OF THE MAKERSTOUN OBSERVATIONS.

This last result serves very nearly for the mean of all the lunations in 1845, and for the mean of all the 
lunations in 1844, when the larger disturbances have been rejected as in the place cited above. 


MaAGneETIC Dip. 


113. Observations for the absolute value of the magnetic dip were made with an instrument by Robinson in — 
the years from 1841 to 1849 ; those till May 1843 were made with the instrument on a pillar near the declin- — 
ometer (see Introduction, 1843, p. liv.); from June 1843 till February 1846, the observations were made in 
a small wooden house erected for the purpose about 19 yards north of the Observatory dip-pillar. The obser- 
vations after June 1843 were in general very unsatisfactory ; ; and ultimately, in February 1846, the observa- 
tions were discontinued (see section Inclinometer, in the Introductions to the various volumes, for details. ) In 
order to determine the annual change of dip, the inclinometer was placed on the original dip-pillar i in the | 
Observatory in September 1849 ; previously, it was found, that both needles belonging to the instrument were — 
much disfigured by rust ; the rust was removed as carefully as possible and the needles rebalanced. 

114. The following are the results of the observations, which were very satisfactory :— 


Sept. 284 23h Needle No. 1. Dip = 71° 15-93 E 
DB CB: (1m | Wakes eee Dip = 71° 14-87 : 
gga gh Needle No. 2. Dip = 71° 1696 
Oa? sips! oy Hes Ne Dip = 71° 16’-27 


115. The dip resulting from these observations differing to a considerable extent from that obtained previously - 
in the dip-house, the inclinometer was removed to that place in order to determine the value of the difference. It 
was found that the dip obtained on the Observatory pillar, was nearly five minutes less than that shewn in the 
dip-house. Other observations were made immediately outside the Observatory, on the top, and at the NW. 
foot of the Observatory hill, which agreed almost exactly with those made on the Observatory pillar. The 
details of these obyervationd must be reserved for another occasion ; it is believed, however, that the difference 
found for the first two places of observation is due to the wall of a sunk fence built of trap stones, which passes — 
within about 2 yards of the instrument when in the dip-house, the top of the wall being on a level with the 
surface of the ground. The following then are the means of all the observations of magnetic dip made with 


the Makerstoun inclinometer ; the observations made in the dip-house between June 1843 and February 1846, 
having been corrected by — 5’.

116. The observations made in the years 1841-2—3 on the Observatory dip- pillar, give for the mean aaa 
1842-5, the mean dip = 71° 24’-0; those Heap on the same pillar 1849-7, give the mean dip = 71° 16°0; 
whence the change in 7:2 years = — 8:0, or = — 111 a year.

ANNUAL VARIATIONS FOR THE MAGNETIC Dip: lix 


‘ 117. The observations made in different azimuths already noticed, render it probable that the dip deduced 
_ above is inaccurate from instrumental causes ; the mean dip from observations in all the azimuths was less than 
that from the observations in the magnetic meridian by upwards of 10’. 


118. In order if possible to determine the true dip, the inclinometer belonging to the Royal Society of 
Edinburgh was obtained, and observations were made with it on the Observatory dip-pillar as follow :— 


Sept. 254 5h Needle No. 1. Dip = 71° 11°38 
QGd RD aS Rate ye. ley pete Dip = 71° 10°83 + Mean Dip = 71° 1036 
962 — 974 Needle No. 2. Dipi="71 "888 


‘The instrument was not in good order and a considerable time was spent on the observations ; but .the results 
‘agree very well. Observations with needle No. 2, were also made in the azimuths 30° and 120°, which gave the 
following values :— 


By the Formula for single Azimuths. By the Formula for both Azimuths. 
Azimuth 30° Dip (1: 9-87 Azimuths 30° and 120°, Dip = 71° 4-2 
i). 120° Dip = 70° 47-7 


_ The observations with the Royal Society’s inclinometer in the magnetic meridian give the magnetic dip about 

6’ less than those with the Makerstoun instrument. It cannot be said that the true dip for Makerstoun is yet 
accurately determined, as the observations with the Royal Society’s inclinometer in different azimuths will 
scarcely permit the assumption that it is free from instrumental error. 


, 119. The following results are deduced from those already obtained for the horizontal and vertical components 
of magnetic force. (See 1844, p. 390.) It may be remarked here, that the epochs for the horizontal component and 
_ magneticdip agree very nearly in every case where both have been determined; maxima of the horizontal component 
being equivalent to minima of dip, and vice versa; therefore, when investigations have not been made similar to 
those for the horizontal component for the magnetic dip (such as for the mean difference or disturbance), the law 
_ for the former may be assumed for the latter, and the values of the variations of dip in minutes may be ob- 
_ tained approximately from the numbers for the horizontal component by multiplying the latter by 1000. 
? 


120. Secular Change of Magnetic Dip.—lIf we assume the secular change for the horizontal component 

=+ 0:001318 (No. 52), and for the vertical component, as deduced from the years 1845-9, = — 0-001055, 

_ we find the secular change of dip = — 2’-47; this is considerably greater than that obtained from the obser- 

‘yations of absolute dip No. 116; since the secular change for the horizontal component must be near the 

truth (N 0. 53), and that obtained for the dip, No. 116, cannot be far from it, it is probable that the secular 

change for the vertical component is still considerably in error, that in fact the balance needle is still losing 
magnetism. 


121. Effect of Disturbance on the Yearly Mean.—From the means for the days selected as nearly free from 
disturbance in the years 1844 and 1845, we find from Nos. 54 and 85, that the yearly mean of magnetic dip 
deduced from the undisturbed days is less than that from all the observations by 0’15. The effect of dis- 
‘turbance, therefore, is to increase the magnetic dip, although the effect on the magnetic declination is nearly 
zero. (No. 38.) 


122. Annual Period of Magnetic Dip.—This result depends chiefly on that for the horizontal component ; 
adopting the annual period for the vertical component, deduced from the observations for the years 1843-6, 
as the best representative of that variation, and employing the annual variations for the horizontal compo- 
nent, deduced from the observations in the years 1843-6, 1842-5, and 1842-7, we obtain the following 
numbers :

lx GENERAL RESULTS OF THE MAKERSTOUN OBSERVATIONS. 


The variations of each of these groups of years exhibit a law which may be thus stated :—The magnetic dip 
as greatest near the eqinoxes, and it is least near the solstices. The variations for the years 1842—5 are perhaps — 
least affected by disturbances ; for these years the two maxima have nearly equal values, but the minimum at 
the summer solstice is greater than that at the winter solstice: in the variations for the years 1843-6 the two ; 
minima have nearly equal values, but the two maxima are unequal, the maximum at the autumnal equinox 
being greatest (See Plate VI.) : and in the variations for the years 1842-7, both maxima and minima are 
unequal ; the greatest maximum occurring at the autumnal equinox, and the greatest minimum at the summer 
solstice. The same results are to be obtained. for the annual period of the horizontal component, the differences 
depending upon the amount of disturbance in the different groups of years. 


123. When we deduce the monthly means of magnetic dip from the observations of the two component mag- 
netometers, made on the days selected as nearly free from irregular disturbance, in the years 1844 and 1844, 
we find the means from all the hourly observations in those years greater (+ ) or less (—) than the former by the 
following quantities. (See Nos. 57 and 59.)

The effect of disturbance on the monthly mean magnetic dip is negative in the three months May to July, 
and is positive in the remaining months. If these means be subtracted from those for the corresponding 
months in Table 56, it will be found that the annual period from the undisturbed days has the same epochs 
as that from the disturbed days. (See No. 58.) 


124, Annual Variation of the Ranges of the Monthly Mean Variation of Dip—The following are the 
ranges of the mean variation for each month, from four years’ observations, as obtained from Table 57.

The range of dip was least in February, and in the three months December, January, and February; it was 
greatest in July, and in the months from May to August, the range for June being slightly less than for 
May, July, and August. The following are the ranges of the mean variation, obtained from the observations 
on the selected days of 1844 and 1845,

The range of the nearly undisturbed mean diurnal variation is least in January, and it is nearly constant 
in the months from April to September. (See No. 93.) 


125. Variations of the Daily Mean Magnetic Dip with reference to the Moon’s Age.—The following num- 
bers, the means for groups of days from four years’ observations, are obtained from the last column of the first 
parts of Tables 28 and 45.

These numbers shew that the magnetic dip was greatest immediately after opposition, and that it was least 
immediately before conjunction. 


126. Variations of the Daily Mean Magnetic Dip with reference to the Moon’s Declination —The follow- 
ing numbers, also derived from four years’ observations, are obtained from the last columns of Table 28 and 49.

It appears therefore, that a minimum of magnetic dip occurred when the moon was farthest north, another 
minimum occurred when it was farthest south, and maxima occurred when the moon was near the equator. 
This law is exactly the same as that for the annual variations. No. 122. 

127. Monthly Variations of the Range of Dip.—These and the analogous results for the mean difference 
cannot be derived from Tables 29, 30, and 46, 47, but require the conversion of all the hourly observations

for the horizontal component, to which we refer. See also No. 141.

| These epochs are very nearly the same as those obtained for the horizontal component No. 69. The 
diurnal variation of magnetic dip at Makerstoun has only one maximum and minimum in the four months 
| May to August, and it has two maxima and two minima in the remaining eight months. The morning 
| minimum near 6° a.m., is the principal minimum in the four months October to January, in February the two 
minima are equal ; in the other months the principal or only minimum, occurs near 6" p.m.; the principal 
‘maximum of dip occurs in each month with the exception of January near 10° a.m. It is only in the four 
winter months November to February that the 2" a.m. maximum is well marked. The variations of the epochs 
of maxima and minima will be found with most accuracy from Table 58, which contains the diurnal variations 
for groups of months.

131. Diurnal Variation of the Effect of Disturbance on the Magnetic Dip—A remark, similar to that 
made No. 72, with reference to the horizontal component, will apply to Table 60. The conclusions from this 
Table are as follow :— 


lst, The greatest effect of disturbance in increasing the magnetic dip occurs

There are two epochs in May and June at which the positive effect of disturbance is a maximum, and there — 

are two similar epochs for each group of months, for one of which either the positive effect is a secondary maxi- — 

mum, or the negative effect is a minimum ; the times of these are given above, in the second line.

the others there is, besides the principal maximum, either a secondary maximum of the negative effect, or a 
minimum of the positive effect ; the times of these are given above in the second line. 
3d, The effect of disturbance upon the hourly mean magnetic dip is zero

132. Variations of the Magnetic Dip with Reference to the Moon's Hour-Angle—The four independent 
columns of Table 61, give results quite analogous to those obtained for the horizontal component of magnetic 
force, No. 79: the results for the winter lunations of 1844, and for the summer lunations of both years, agree 
very nearly with that for the mean of both years in the last column of Table 61,—which may be stated as 
follows :— 


The age es is a minimum about 1 hour after the moon’s inferior transit. 
trtesressereeeseesseeeee moaximum about 33 hours before the moon’s superior transit. ¢ 
minimum about 22 hours after the moon’s superior transit. 
maximum about 8 hours after the moon’s superior transit. 


ANNUAL VARIATIONS OF THE TOTAL MAGNETIC FORCE. Ixv 


The winter lunations for 1844 agree with this result, in having a minimum immediately after the inferior 
ransit, but not otherwise : this difference, it is considered, is due to disturbances. (See No. 80.) 
® 


ToTaL MAGnetic FORCE. 


; 133. Absolute Value of the Total Magnetic Force.—The absolute value of the total magnetic force de- 
duced from the value of the horizontal component, and the magnetic dip, as in No, 81, is as follows :— 
Total magnetic force at Makerstoun for the mean epoch 1845 = 10-5267. 


134. Secular Change of the Total Magnetic Force.—The determination of this depends chiefly on the balance 


indeed it is probable that the total force remains nearly constant, and this is the more likely the nearer the 
‘secular change deduced for the magnetic dip is considered to be to the truth. (See No. 116.) 


135. Effect of Disturbance on the Yearly Mean Value of the Total Magnetic Force-—By Nos. 54 and 85, 
we find that the yearly mean deduced from the selected undisturbed days, is greater than that obtained from all the 
_ observations by 0:000045, the total force here and in the following discussions being considered equal to unity. 


} 136. Annual Period of the Total Magnetic Force,—This result depends chiefly on that for the vertical com- 
ponent and is entitled to the same weight. The following are the variations of the monthly means of the total 
force, deduced from the observations of the balance and bifilar magnetometers for the four years 1843-6. 
See Nos. 56 and 87.) 


Jan. Feb. March. April. May. June. July. Aug. Sept. Oct. Nov. Dec. 
+099 —013 —074 —075 —034 +120 +052 —001 —049 —087 +011 4048 


From these numbers, the total magnetic force at Makerstoun is a maximum about the solstices, and a mimimum 
mmediately after the equinowes (See Plate VI.) 

137. The monthly means deduced from all the hourly observations in 1844 and 1845, were greater (+ ) or 
Tess (—) than those obtained from the days selected as nearly free from disturbance by the peas quantities, 
(See Nos. 57 and 89.)

The effect of disturbance on the monthly mean was nearly zero in the months of February, June, and 
December, and it was greatest in March and October. When these numbers are subtracted from those in 
‘No. 136 it is found that the annual period obtained from the undisturbed days in each month, has the same

he range of the nearly undisturbed mean diurnal variation was least in January 1844-5, and it was 

test in May, but it is probable that the range is nearly constant while the sun is north of the equator, and 

hat the differences exhibited here are due to the greater or less amount of disturbance remaining in the 
selected days. (See Nos. 92 and 93.) 


139. Variations of the Daily Mean Total Magnetic Force, with Reference to the Moon’s Age.—The fol-

lowing quantities, the means for groups of days from four years’ observations, are obtained from the last colum 
of the first parts of Tables 28 and 45. (Prefix 0-000.)

The total force, therefore, is least near opposition, and it is greatest near the quadratures. (See No. 96, 1st.) 


140. Variations of the Daily Mean Total Magnetic Force, with Reference to the Moon’s Declination, 
The following variations are derived from the final columns of Tables 28 and 45. (Prefix 0-000.)

Variations, + 024 — 004 —016 — 010 + 017 — 004 — 001 — 005 


These variations indicate that the total force is a maximum when the moon is farthest north, and als 
when it is farthest south, and that is a minimum between these epochs. This result is quite analogous 
that for the sun’s position in declination (see No. 136). In both cases, the total force is greatest when the body — 
(sun or moon) has its greatest north and south declinations, and it is least during the intermediate positions, 
or when the body is near the equator. 


141. Monthly Variations of the Range of the Total Force.—This law is the same as that for the vertical 
component (No. 97), but has not been deduced for the total force, for the reason given No. 127. It may be 
stated generally, whether the position of the sun or the moon be under consideration, that the diurnal range o 
all the magnetic elements is greatest when the body is rather north of the equator, and that the range is least when — 
the body is farthest south and farthest north. It has been found, generally, that when undisturbed mean ~ 
variations are examined, the diminution of diurnal range, when the sun is most northerly, disappears, and 
it is probable that the same would be true with respect to the moon; the excess of range, when the bodies 
are near the equator, being due to the greater amounts of disturbance which occur at these times, 
(See No. 23.)

The principal maximum of the total magnetic force occurs between 3" 40™ and 65 30™ p.m. in each 

month of the year ; it occurs latest in June and November ; it occurs earliest in February and March, of the 
_ first six months, and in October and_September of the last six months of the year. The principal minimum 
occurs near 2" a.m. in each month, with the exceptions of June and July, in which months it occurs near 11" 
a.M.; in May, November, and December, the two minima are nearly equal. The secondary maximum occurs 
between 63" and 73" a.m., and it is best marked in the months of March, April, and May, August, and Sep- 
tember.

In the disturbed diurnal variation of total magnetic force, the principal maximum occurred latest in the 
quarter December to February, and earliest in the quarter September to November: the epoch of the 
after-midnight minimum varied little, being slightly nearer midnight in May and June than in the other 
groups ; the secondary maximum occurred earliest in May and June, and latest in September to November ; 
and the forenoon minimum occurred earliest in the quarter December to February, and latest in May and June. 
In May and June, therefore, the one minimum occurred nearest noon, the other nearest midnight. (See 
the Continuous Curves, Plate V.)

144, When we consider the diurnal variation, as deduced from days selected as nearly free from intermit- — 
tent disturbance, and as exhibited in Table 64, and in the dotted curves, Plate V., we find the approximate epochs 
in apparent time as follow :— 


Dec. Jan. Feb. March, April. May, June. July, Aug. Sept. Oct. Nov, 
Maximum, + 45 O™ p.m. + 5) 40m p.m, + 6h Om p.m. 4+ 5h 35™ p.m. + 45 15m pM.

The undisturbed diurnal variation of the total magnetic force differs considerably from that affected by dis- 
turbances, as may be seen at a glance in Plate V.; the whole variations of the epochs of maxima and minima, 
with season, are different from those obtained, No. 143. In each group of months, the forenoon minimum is 
the principal, and the after-midnight minimum is quite secondary. The principal maximum occurs earliest in 
winter, about 4" p.m., and latest in May and June, about 6" p.m.; the principal minimum occurs earliest — 
in the six months, September to February, and latest in March and April: the secondary maximum occurs — 
nearest noon, and the secondary minimum nearest midnight, in the equinoctial months. =

145. Diurnal Variation of the Effect of Disturbance on the Total Magnetic Force. The remark made 
| No. 102, for the vertical component, will apply also to the following conclusions obtained from Table 65. 
1st, The greatest effect of disturbance in increasing the total magnetic force occurs

About 6» 30™ p.m. 5” 30™ p.m. 6" 15™ p.m, 5» 40™ p.m, 55 10™ p.m. 


The hours, it will be seen, agree very nearly with those found as the epochs of the maximum total force in the 
disturbed diurnal variation. The maximum positive effect of disturbance on the total force, occurs latest near 
the solstices and earliest near the equinoxes. 

2d, The greatest effect of disturbance in diminishing the total magnetic force occurs

About 2h O™ aM. 2h 15™ am. 3h Om a.m. 25 45™ aM. 25 10m a.m. 


| These hours are nearly the same as those for the after-midnight minimum of the diurnal variation; the 
' difference is greatest in the summer months when the maximum negative effect occurs latest. 
3d, The effect of disturbance on the total magnetic force is zero

146. Variation of the Total Magnetic Force with Reference to the Moon’s Hour-Angle.—Of the four indepen- z 
dent results in Table 66, that for the winter lunations of 1844 has the greatest range, and only one maximum 
and minimum, the maximum occurring about 2 hours after the moon’s inferior transit, and the minimum about 
24 hours afters the superior transit : the three other results shew two maxima and two minima as follow :— 


A maximum from 2 to 4 hours after the moon’s inferior transit. 
A minimum from 4 to 23 hours before the moon’s superior transit. 
A maximum from 0 to 24 hours after the moon’s superior transit. 
A minimum from 6 to 8 hours after the moon’s superior transit. 


In the mean of all, as shewn in the last column of Table 66, the first minimum and second maximum noted above, 
are scarcely visible, owing to the effect of the great range of the exceptional result for the winter lunations of 
1844. The epochs from the means of all are— 


The maximum of total force 23 hours after the moon’s inferior transit. 


AU TAMA donsanninabenr 2 hours before ............ superior transit. 
AA FAXES, 55 3 ancien hes Ce 9 superior transit. 
The wMMMUM: 2... 606006 8 hours after ............ superior transit. 


It is probable that the mean of all the lunations is vitiated by the winter lunations of 1844, and that the 
epochs given above for the remaining lunations of the two years are near the truth. 


COMBINED MOTIONS OF THE MAGNETIC NEEDLE. 


147. Motions of the North End of a Magnetic Needle supposed freely suspended in the direction of the Magnet . 
Force.—These motions have been represented in Plates VI.-VIII. by projecting the variations of dip, given 
the previous Tables, as ordinates to the abscissee deduced from the variations of declination for the same epochs 
multiplied by the cosine of the dip (=0-32). As great care has been bestowed on the determination and veri- ‘ 
fication of the coefficients of reduction for the bifilar and balance magnetometers, upon which the element 
dip depends, it is conceived that considerable confidence may be placed in the accuracy of these figures as ree 
presentatives of the motions of the north end of a needle supposed freely suspended in the direction of dip at 
Makerstoun. No attempt has been made in these discussions to introduce theoretical views, but s considera f 
of the figures in the Plates will probably show the futility of many of the theories brought forth to explain the 
motion in declination. - | 


148. Annual Motions.—The annual motion deduced from the observations of the three magnetometers for the 
four years 1843-6 is shown in figure A, Plate VI. In order to exhibit a more symmetrical form of the annu 


COMBINED MoTIONS OF THE MAGNETIC NEEDLE. Ixxi 


‘motion, the magnetic dip, deduced from the observations of the bifilar magnetometer for the years 1842-5 and 
‘the balance magnetometer for the years 1843-6, has been employed to construct figure B ; the same declination 
being used as in figure A. For both figures the monthly mean values for the three magnetometers have been 
obtained from the curves (Plate VI.) passed freely through or among the projected points. 

149. From near the vernal till the autumnal equinox the annual motion forms the half of an ellipse whose 
7 ‘major axis, passing at the vertex through June, makes an angle of about +1 1°in figure A and of + 16°in figure 
B with the projection of the magnetical meridian. At the autumnal equinox the north end of the needle again 
ascends till the winter solstice, after which it descends till the vernal equinox. In its descent, the north ead of 
‘the needle having crossed its previously ascending path, it forms a loop which, when tintwisted and continued 
‘downwards from the equinoxes, completes the ellipse ; the portion formed by the loop having almost exactly the 
same perimeter as that regularly formed when the sun is north of the equator; the completed portion is indi- 
cated by dotted lines in figures A and B. It does not seem improbable that in southern latitudes the figure 
will be inverted, and that it will be a simple ellipse near the equator. 


150. Monthly Motions.—The motion corresponding to the moon’s varying phase has not been projected, chiefly 
“because of the irregularities still existing in the result of the four years’ observations for the magnetic declina- 
tion, the epoch of minimum being ill-determined ; it is conceived that the figure is a simple ellipse with its 
major axis in the astronomical meridian, the northern extremity being at conjunction, the epoch of minimum 
dip, and the southern extremity at opposition, the epoch of maximum dip ; this, however, is doubtful. 
151. The motion for the moon’s position in declination has been obtained in the following manner :—Hav- 
ing first projected the means of magnetic declination for each three days of the moon’s position in declination, as 
obtained from the Tables for the years 1843-6, the day after the farthest northerly position being the abscissa, 
a curve was passed freely among the points ; the values of the ordinates at the points of intersection by the 
curve were then taken as the interpolated values of magnetic declination for the corresponding abscisse : a 
_ similar operation was performed for the magnetic dip. In both cases very satisfactory curves, agreeing nearly 
with the true points, were obtained. These values are projected in figure C, Plate VI. From this figure the north 
end of the dipping-needle commences its ascent about two days after the moon is north of the equator, attains 
its highest point about two days after the moon is farthest north, and afterwards it descends till the moon is 
again near the equator; thus forming a figure like a portion of an ellipse with its vertex about one day after 
the moon is farthest north, the major axis making an angle of about — 30° with the magnetic meridian. It 
will be remarked that so far this motion is quite similar to that for the sun’s position in declination, with 
the exception of the axis of the figure being on the opposite side of the magnetic meridian ; when we trace the 
_ figure farther the analogy still subsists ;—as the moon proceeds south of the equator the north end of the needle 
again ascends till the moon is farthest south, thereafter descending, and, in crossing its previously ascending path, 
a loop is formed lying partially out of the principal figure, as in the case of the annual motion. 
152. The correspondence of the two results gives a great weight to the accuracy of both; this will be more 
evident when it is remembered, that the whole motion of the dipping-needle for the moon’s varying declination is 
included by a small circle with a diameter of little more than one-tenth of a minute of space, and, that no obser- 
vation in the sixty thousand employed for this result has been rejected, however greatly affected by disturbance ; 
although the graphic interpolation to remove slight irregularities may be considered an equivalent operation.

of raip from about 1" p.m. till 95 or 108 p PM., after which it turns westwards, and begins to ascend about 4" a.m., 
crossing near its position at 6" p.m., thus forming an eastern loop, which is small compared with the western 
‘loop, excepting in Dace cine After 6" a.m., the north ond of the needle having moved a little westwards, 


about 115 a.m. till it meets the position of 15 p.m., tht completing the western loop. The eastern ne 
is not formed in March, the north end of the needle not rising sufficiently high to cross the afternoon 
track. The change in the figure from February to March is very great ; in April and May the remains of the 
eastern loop are still visible, but in June and July its position is indicated by a simple inflection in the figure ; 

Jin August and September the germ of the eastern loop becomes more distinct, and in October the loop is 
actually formed. The transition in form from autumn to winter is quite gradual, unlike that from winter to

spring. In the winter months, the principal or western loop is formed by the motion from 8" a.m. till 5" p.m, ; 
in the months from April to August, three-fourths of the whole diurnal motion occur between 6" 4.m. ani 
6" p.m., the remaining fourth forming a slightly inflected side to each of the figures: it is this side which is 
gradually twisted up to form the eastern loop of the winter months. The figures for means of groups of — 
months, as in Tables 13 and 58, have been projected in Plate VIII. on a larger scale, the diurnal mo- 
tions from the days selected as nearly free from irregular disturbance have been projected with dotted outlines — 
along with the others. In these figures the actual values in Tables 13, 14, 58, 59 have been employed. In 
the winter months the undisturbed diurnal variation presents a series of convolutions instead of the easterr 
loop, and in the other months the general form of the figures is not much altered. . 

155. It is evident that no proper comparison can be made of the areas of these figures, on account of the 
involved forms in the winter months; the areas, however, of the figures from April to August, differ ve 
little,* 


156. Perimeters of the Figures.—The twisting of the perimeters, which renders a comparison of the areas of _ 
little value, does not appear to affect the length of the motion, and this therefore seems a fair subject for ex- 
amination. The following are the values of the angular motion, or length of the perimeter, for each month, as 
obtained approximately from Plate VII.

* It may not be unimportant to remark here, that the processes usually adopted in order to determine the epochs of maxim 
and minima for the separate elements of declination and dip, are not strictly accurate; and that is the case whether the process b e 
one of interpolation from graphic projection, Where the time is the abscissa, or one of computation, where the variable is a func- 
tion of the hour angle. This is evident, when we examine the figures in Plates VII. and VIII., where the dip and declination 3 
the co-ordinates. The error, however, will not affect any of the comparative conclusions for thee elements in the previous pages. 
A similar exception may be taken to the accuracy of comparisons of areas of declination curves, where time is the abscissa. 


CoMBINED MOTIONS OF THE MAGNETIC NEEDLE. Ixxill 


i 159. These numbers give the following curious result ;—That the velocity of motion of the north end of a 
magnet freely suspended in the direction of the magnetic force is a maximum when the sun makes its superior 
os of the magnetic meridian (between 10" and 11” a.m.), and a minimum when it makes its inferior transit of 
a same meridian (between 10" and 11" p.m.). This result is the more curious that the epoch of the minimum 
-yelocity of the diurnal motion is an epoch of maximum disturbance, and, im as far as the declination is con- 


160. When we compare the results for the irregular disturbance, with reference to the separate elements 
of magnetic declination and magnetic dip (see horizontal component), with the velocities of motion as deduced 
3 these figures, we find, that when the diurnal motion is most rapid the departures from the direction of that 
| motion are least, and when the diurnal motion is slowest the irregular departures from the hourly mean position are 
greatest, 

161, It is scarcely possible to connect the previous facts of area, perimeter, or velocity of motion with the 
aws of variation of temperature. In the mean for the whole year, the temperature changes most rapidly between 
and 9 4.m.; but it changes with nearly equal rapidity between 5" and 6? p.m. There is no corresponding 
act in the previous numbers. When we compare the variations of temperature with the variations of position 
for the suspended magnet in the summer months, we find the difference between the two classes of facts even 
more marked: in summer, the temperature changes most rapidly about 7" a.m. and 7) p.m., the change for 
ay, June, and July, from 6"—8" a.m. being +3°80, and from 62-8" p.m. being —3°-54; for the same 
| months the mean angular motion of the needle from 6"—8" a.m. =1’-00, from 95-11" a.m. =2’-12, and from 
| (6h_8h p.M. =0'-74. There is a diminution in the velocity of the motion between 1 and 2" p.m. ; there is also 
| a slight diminution at the turning point, 6"~7" p.m. and between 2" and 3" a.m. These diminutions appear 
| to be connected with the fact, that they occur at turning points in the figures. 

| __‘:162. It may be remarked that the line representing the astronomical meridian, and passing through the 
centre of gravity of the figures for the months during which the sun is north of the equator, also passes through 
q position of greatest velocity, and nearly through that of least velocity, of the diurnal motion. 


163. General Form and Turning Points of the Diurnal Motions.—The general forms of the diurnal motion 
ary between rude ellipses and circles. In the winter months, the principal portion, or loop of the figures, is 
lliptical with the major axis horizontal ; near the equinoxes the figure becomes somewhat circular, and in the 
midsummer months it again becomes rudely elliptical, with the major axis inclined about 20° or 30° west of 
th magnetic meridian. In the usual investigations of the conventional element of declination, it has been re- 
| marked that the turning from the farthest westerly position occurs near the time of maximum temperature ; a 
| coincidence which has been supposed to indicate a real connection, though there is no similar coincidence between 
ae epoch of minimum temperature and the eastern turning point. If, however, we examine the figures indi- 
| eating the diurnal motions of a needle in its true position, such as those for the months of April, August, Oc- 
tober, &c., we might find it difficult to say, where is a turning point and where not; and it is difficult to see 
why the turning points at the extremities of the horizontal diameters of these rude circles, or at the extremities 
of @ horizontal line, in the ruder ellipses, should be chosen, in preference to the turning points at the extremi- 
| ties of other lines’ drawn in the figures, as tests for a theory ; unless, indeed, it be explained by the accident that 
| a horizontal suspension of a magnetic needle is a convenient one for observing a certain portion of the motion 
of a magnet, which, independently of gravity, would rest in the direction of the magnetic force. 
164. It may be noticed, chiefly with reference to the months from March to October, that a line passing 
through the positions of noon and midnight also passes through, or nearly through, the mean position, or the centre 
_of gravity, each hour having equal weight : also a line passing through the positions about four hours before and 
ur hours after noon, passes nearly through the centre of gravity of the figures ; the former of these lines lies 
| nearly in the direction of the minor axis, the latter nearly in that of the major axis of the rude ellipses for the 
{midsummer months. The horizontal line passing through the centre of gravity, also passes nearly through the 
| positions of 1* a.m. and 1" p.m., which, therefore, are the epochs of mean dip. (See also No. 162.) 


165. Angular Distances between the Hourly Positions from the Mean of all, and from the Undisturbed Days, 
—It has been already stated, in considering the effect of disturbance on the hourly mean values of the magnetic 
elements, that it is assumed that the mean of all the hourly values is unaffected, which, in the present case, is 
equivalent to assuming, as has been done in Plate VIII., that the centre of gravity of the disturbed and un- 
disturbed figures is the same; this must be very nearly true, as regards its position in declination (No. 38), 
| but it is probable that there is some error with reference to its position in dip: it will be seen from No. 128, 
| that this error in the figures for May-June and July-August is very small; it will also be seen from No. 
| 128, that the dotted figures for the other months should be raised somewhat in the page, since the centre of 
} gravity of the dotted figure has a less dip than that of the continuous figure ; the effect of this elevation would 
| be chiefly to diminish the distance between the points about 4> and 5 p.m, on the figures for March and April :

166. The following are the conclusions from Table 68 :— 


lst, In the two figures for the months from September to February, the effect of disturbance in displacing 
the needle is a minimum about 4" a.m. and 45 p.m., the values for these hours being nearly equal, or near the 
hours when the sun is on the magnetic prime vertical. "The taxtam effect of disturbance occurs in both about 
10® p.m., when the eye is on the magnetic meridian, a secondary maximum occurring in the figure December to 
February about 13" p.m., and in the figure September to November about 8 a.m. i 
2d, In the feae for March—April, the minimum occurs about 4" a.m., and the maximum probably about 
85-10" p.m., the value, however, varying little for the 18 hours from 8) a.m. till 2° a.m. 
3d, The mean of the two results for the figures May—June and J uly—August is to some extent the reverse 
of the result for December to February. The effect of disturbance is a minimum about 4} a. M., and abot 
noon ; it is a maximum about 8" a.m. and 4" p.m. It would appear, therefore, that the diurnal ‘law of the 
effect of disturbance varies with season as well as the law of the amount of disturbance (see Nos. 45,77, 110): 
a minimum is also shewn about 8» p.m. a 
4th, In all months of the year the effect of disturbance is a minimum about 4" a.m. In the winter mon 
a minimum occurs at 44 p.m., the maximum occurs at the same hour in the summer months. f 
5th, In the mean figure for the year, minima occur at 45 a.m. and about 53 p.m., the maximum occurs ab 
10° p.m., and a maximum occurs between 8 a.m. and 45 p.m. If, making allowance for the effect of 
turbance on the position of the centre of gravity with reference to dip (No. 121), we suppose the centre 
gravity of the dotted figure for the year (Plate VIII.) raised 0’15 on the line of mean declination, or that of 
the continuous figures lowered as much, we find the maximum effect of disturbance to occur about 10" DM 
and 10 a.m., and the minimum effect abent 4h a.m. and 5" p.m. This result was obtained for the magnetic 
clination im 1844, See the Volume for that year, p. 345, 


THE AURORA BOREALIS.

167. Motions with reference to the Moon’s Hour-Angle.—These, as obtained from the means of all the luna- 
tions in the years 1844 and 1845, and as deduced from winter lunations for 1845 only, are shewn in 


Plate VII. 


the diurnal motion for the month of December. 


THE AURORA BOREALIS. 


The resulting figures, especially that for the winter lunations of 1845, bear some resemblance to 


168. The results for the aurora borealis are placed between the magnetical and meteorological discussions, 
because the appearances of this meteor are distinctly connected with magnetic disturbances ; the frequency of 
the one and the magnitude of the other, it will be seen, are governed by the same laws. 

169. The following Table contains a list of all the aurore seen at Makerstoun, between January 1843 and 


June 1849. 


A very careful outlook for aurore was kept throughout the whole period, but especially during 


the first five years; an outlook warned by magnetic disturbance in circumstances unfavourable to the visibility 


of the meteor, and assisted by a practical acquaintance with the faintest auroral indications. 


In several cases, 


_ the auroral appearances were very faint; these are entered in the Table as “‘ Traces,” and, in others, there was 


doubt whether the appearance was truly auroral ; these are indicated by ‘ Trace 2” 


with the exception of the years 1844 and 1845, aurore were seldom looked for after midnight.

ADDITIONAL NOTES ON AUROR® BOREALES SEEN IN 1847-9. 


40™. Aurora of irregular streamers converging to the anti-dip. 44™. A bright beam from NW.., 
through a and 8 Auriga ; persistent for some time. Masses of light at about 10° altitude. The 
aurora terminates about NE. Cirro-cumulo-strati spreading from NW. 47™. Diffuse and hazy-like 
aurora to SW.; patches 20° south of zenith, to SH., &c. 50™. Arch about 10° altitude, but not 
very distinct, the moon appears as if in a cirrous haze. 52™. Patch reaching from zenith to 10° over 
NNW.., becomes a beam immediately. Aurora becoming less bright. The clouds during aurore 
often assume a curious brushy appearance. 56™. Sky nearly covered with auroral haze, which is less 
bright to S., and more patchy. 

20™. Faint auroral arch nearly complete, 20° altitude from S. 
or milky aurora, both to N. and S. 

15™. Milky aurora over the sky. 

This aurora appeared in amorphous patches, jets, pulsations, and in bands, like portions of arches at 
gh gm, : 

25™. Aurora not bright, arches with pulsations; broad pencilly patches; about 30™ a long and broad 
streamer reached from near the horizon to near the zenith, passing through the body of the Great Bear. 
At 105 40™, the aurora was diffuse, extending to an altitude of 70° or 80°. 


The corona very beautiful and perfect at this time, found by carefully examining the position of the 
centre of the corona with reference to certain stars that it was S. 234 E., with an altitude of 702°. 
Bright pencils and streamers seen till near 14"; lunar halo at 134 6™, 

Fine coloured aurora; made a few notes about 95 p.m. as follows :— 


583™. White patches in Cygnus; a very persistent red patch on the Pointers, it has moved perhaps 2° 
eastwards since 524™; about 48™ very irregular white streamers on N. horizon. 

13™. Bright-red streamers east of Pointers. 231™. White patch to WSW. 33”. Streaky aurora and 
streamers ; air very clear; stars very distinctly seen and well defined ; clouds growing and dissolv- 
ing. 41™, Patch 240° azimuth, 13° altitude. 223™. Corona; estimated the position of the centre 
among the stars, and found it to be §. 25° E. altitude 71°. Considerable magnetic disturbance. 


50™. Arch of aurora passed through zenith, and at 8" 55™, the arch had reached southwards till its south 
edge had an altitude of 42°, as found from the position of the arch among the stars: the sky soon 
clouded over. The aurora was observed about 74 20™; about 8" 50™ it was very brilliant with green, 
white, and red streamers. Several flashes of lightning seen about 10". Arches to the south always 
very faint. 


13™. Very cloudy. Total eclipse of moon at midnight, when there was a very fine arch of aurora, made 
up of brushes, very bright to NW. by N. Clouds of the growing and dissolving species so common 
during aurore. 

25™. Sky quite clear, excepting near the horizon, stars bright. Rapidly pulsating and vivid aurora first 
seen ; pulsations seen in the space between NW. and NNW., clouds to N. and W. Slight rain 
falling, though no cloud near the zenith, and not a breath of wind. About 28™, cirro-cumulous 
scud (the growing and dissolving cloud) came moving up from W.; wondered whether the rain would 
cease or increase when the cloud reached the zenith ; found that the rain ceased immediately when 
the cloud crossed the zenith ; the pulsations of the aurora at the same time became less frequent ; 
at first they reached from an altitude of 30° to past the zenith. After a portion of the cloud had 
passed the zenith, leaying a little sky, a few drops of rain were again felt, but the cloud quickly grew 
over the zenith again. The usual growing cloud obscuring the moon becoming more general and 
denser. Pulsations much less at 32™. 


Faint aurora to NNW., mostly covered with thin hazy cloud, radiating from that point to an alti- 
tude of 45°. 


10™. The sky, where free from clouds, has a reddish tinge, as if from aurora. About 8" the sky still 
nearly covered with clouds ; beams seen in different parts of the sky, some reaching nearly to zenith, 
a bright mass of aurora with streamers to W., little or no aurora to N. 9 10™. Sky nearly clear, 
faint diffuse auroral light over most of the sky. About 10" 20”, sky nearly clear, brilliant corona, 
beams rising from all parts of the sky ; mostly white ; rapid pulsations. Clouds speedily covered the 
sky. About 11" 0”, a vivid flash of lightning followed in about two seconds by a peal of thunder ; 
heavy shower of hail or snow. The magnets considerably disturbed about 7%. 


Aurorz were seen at Inveresk by Mr Milne’s gardener on the following days, when none were ob- 
served at Makerstoun, viz., April 24; July 1, 2, 23; and August 8, 1848.

9 54™_58™, Magnificent bow of aurora passing between Castor and Pollux, as in Fig. 1; shortly 
afterwards a series of waves 
seemed to move along the 
lower edge of the bow from 
east to west, and in a di- 
rection opposite to the very 
violent wind then blowing 
from west; the appearance 
of the waves is shewn in 
Fig. 2. 

10 10™. The source of the waves 
was observed as in Fig. 3; the 
bow was seen to be at the base 
of a series of beams, which 
converged to the anti-dip ; 
the beams were but faintly 
visible, but they were observ- 
ed to rotate about the point c, 
the centre of the corona, the 
beam a, appearing to occupy 
successive positions, till it 
arrived at the position b ; in this rotation the wave-like motion observed in Fig. 2, was produced. 
The sky was quite clear, and the wind blowing very violently. It is not a little curious that on the 
following evening, Feb. 20th, Professor Forbes observed a similar arch in almost the same position. 
He has obliged me with the following note of his observation :— 


“ Edinburgh, 20th February 1849.—At 10% 10™, p.w. [Greenwich mean time], my attention was 
called to a splendid auroral arch; the brightest I ever saw. Sky clear and calm blue, diffuse light 
in N. At 105 11™. Centre of band over northermost of two bright stars in Gemini (Castor and Pol- 
lux). Motion at first a little northwards, but returned to its former position. Undulations of bright- 
ness from E. to W. passed along the zone. Began to break up from the E. end about 10" 18"; 
figure became irregular, and, on the whole, to the S. of its first position. 10" 22™. Only streaks in 
the west remaining.” 


March 18 10 25™. The arch passed between the stars, 38 and 40 of the Lynx, which were nearly on the meridian; 
at 104 32™, the arch passed over the two stars, A and » Urse Majoris. 


Diurnal Variation of Visible Frequency of the Aurora Borealis ——When we note from the preceding Table

FREQUENCY OF THE AURORA BOREALIS. xxx 


171. Itis probable that the numbers for midnight, and the hours thereafter, are too small, for the reason given, 
No. 169. The greatest number of aurore were seen at 9" p.m.; this result is independent of the effect of twi- 
light, since 9" p.m. is also the hour of maximum frequency for the winter months. This hour is nearly the 
hour of maximum disturbance for the magnetic declination and dip; as, however, the maximum disturbance of 

_ the total magnetic force and a maximum of the magnetic dip appear to occur about 5" p.m., this also may be 
an epoch of maximum frequency or intensity, though this can only be determined in higher latitudes. It 
_ should also be remarked, that, since the epoch of maximum disturbance varies with season, so, therefore, it is 
BE robable will that of frequency of the aurora; some traces of this may be deduced from the previous table. 
In the winter quarter, November—January, four-fifths of the times at which aurore were seen were for the hours 
before 10" p.m., whereas in the spring quarter there were only three-fifths seen before 104 p.m. (See No. 172).

172. Annual Variation of Frequency of the Aurora Borcalis.—The first line following contains the numbers 
of aurorz observed in each month during the six complete years 1843-8, and the second line gives the numbers 
of hours at which the aurore were seen.

The greatest number of aurora was observed in March for the first six months, and in October for the last 
six months of the year: none were observed in June and July. When the six months of 1849 are in- 
‘eluded, the number for February is 26, and for March, 28. The law of visible frequency of the aurora is the 
same as that deduced already for magnetic disturbance, namely, maxima near the equinoxes, and minima 
near the solstices, the minimum at the summer solstice being the principal.* As, however, the shortness of 
night during the summer months must diminish the number of visible aurore, it is by no means certain 
from these numbers that a minimum occurs at the summer solstice; the fact of the minimum at the winter 
Solstice is involved in no such difficulty. If we could assume that the aurore had the same diurnal law of 
Recency at all seasons of the year, the existence of the summer minimum could be satisfactorily determined, 
by comparing the numbers of times which aurorz were seen at the five hours, 10) p.m.—2 a.m., during

* Tt has been stated in the volume for 1844, p. 401, that this result was long ago obtained by Mairan; this statement, made 
chiefly on the authority of Kemtz and Hansteen, is not quite accurate. It is true that Mairan’s numbers give a rough indica- 
| tion of the law, as will be seen below; but when it is remembered that his table includes all the observations (229) of which he 
_ could find a record for upwards of 1000 years, it will be evident, that the conclusion that a greater number of aurore occurred at 
both equinoxes than at the winter solstice would have been hasty ; this conclusion, however, is not made by Mairan, and, though he 
has combined the numbers of aurore in a great variety of ways, he has made no combination exhibiting this fact. It did not enter 
into the necessities of his theory (that aurore are the product of the solar atmosphere) to shew that a greater number of aurore hap- 
pened in the northern hemisphere, at the vernal equinox than at the winter solstice; he shews, indeed, that the number for one equi- 
nox is, and, in accordance with his theory, ought to be, greater than for the other. Some other philosopher has the merit of first 
) pointing out this fact. 
The following are the numbers of aurore by Mairan (Traité Physique et Historique de l’Aurore Boreale, par M. de Mairan,

which (even in the months of August and May) there is little twilight to extinguish aurore. The numbers 
are as follow, for these five hours in each month of the years 1843-8 :-— 


Jan. Feb. March, April. May. June. July. Aug. Sept. Oct. Nov. Dec.

From these it is evident that the numbers in May and August are certainly less than for April and Sep 
tember; but it has been already mentioned as probable that the diurnal law of frequency varies with season, of 
which, indeed, a proof is to be found in the great excess of the numbers above for the spring months, com- 
pared with those for the autumn months, shewing the later epoch of the maximum frequency in the former. — 
An examination of Table 18, however, will shew, that, though the maximum disturbance occurs after midnight, — 
in the months of May, June, and July, yet in August and the two following months it occurs about 10" p.m, _ 
so that there can be no doubt of the less number for August than for September and October, if there should © 
be a doubt in the case of May compared with April. The difference, however, even in the latter case is too 
great to be explained by any slight shift of the epoch of maximum frequency in the two months. Upon the 
whole, it appears certain that a minimum of actual as well as of visible frequency occurs in summer; a result — 
quite in accordance with that for the amount of magnetic disturbance, which accordance is sufficiently close to — 
permit us to complete it, by assuming that the number of aurore is a principal minimum in summer, « 


173. Variation of Frequency of the Aurora Borealis with the Moon’s Age.—This investigation is evidently — 
beset with considerable difficulty, since the moonlight existing nearly extinguishes the appearances of all the — 
fainter class of aurore, and it renders the faintest wholly invisible; the careful watch, however, which was — 
kept for auroral appearances at Makerstoun, probably renders Table 69 better fitted for such a question than — 
any previous series of observations.* : 

174. Combining the numbers of aurore observed at each day of the moon’s age into six groups of 5 days (the 
first group, 43 days), we find the average number of aurore for one day of the moon’s age in each group as — 
follows, from the 63 years’ observations :— 


Moon’s Age. 284—o24 34—74 84—]2¢ 134—174 184—224 234974 
Number. 5:8 5:9 3°6 5:0 10-2 6°6 


Did aurore occur indifferently at all ages of the moon, we should expect to see the greatest number at conjunction, — 
and the least number at opposition ; this however is not the case, the greatest number was seen about two days _ 
before the end of the third quarter, and the least number about two days after the first quarter, or the visible maxi- © 
mum and minimum occurred at times equidistant from the epoch of opposition. The frequency of aurora, 
therefore, is a function of the moon’s age. In order to determine the actual law, we may consider the probable | 
effect of moonlight in obliterating the auroral appearances ; remarking, first, that 95 p.m., is the epoch of 
maximum frequency for the aurora, and that upwards of five-sixths are seen before midnight. When the moon 
is about three days old, in the months from September to March, it begins to set sufficiently late, and to have suffi- 
cient light to render the earlier of the faint aurore invisible ; about the end of the first quarter, it does not set — 
till midnight, and thus shines throughout the period of the occurrence of five-sixths of the aurore ; afterwards it~ 
increases in brightness, and the maximum effect in extinguishing faint aurorze is evidently attained at opposition, — 
when the moon begins to rise late enough to allow the earlier aurore to be visible; towards the end of the —

Mairan’s numbers are probably included by Kemtz; a few of the aurore, included in M. Hansteen’s list, are identical with 
those in my own. i 


* It should be remarked, that the latitude of Makerstoun, or perhaps even a lower latitude, is better fitted for this investiga 
tion, than much higher latitudes; at least this is the case as long as only frequency of visibility can be considered, The French 
Commission du Nord, during their stay in Lapland, found aurore existing, or probably existing, almost every night. In such places 
variation of frequency there is none, and variation of intensity alone remains for investigation. It is obvious, that till some better — 
mode of measuring this intensity can be devised.for these high latitudes, we are forced to perform this operation in a rude manner, — 
by moving to lower latitudes, where the fainter aurore become invisible, and where, therefore, frequency is a test of intensity be- 
yond a certain limit. 


THE AvrRorRA BOREALIS. Ixxxiil 


third quarter, when the moon does not rise till midnight, it is also evident that the number of faint aurore 
‘rendered invisible must be very small. From the beginning of the fourth quarter, therefore, till conjunction, 
the numbers seen will obey nearly the true law of frequency; and as the visible maximum occurred before the 
end of the third quarter, the true maximum must have occurred even nearer to opposition, On the whole, it 
“appears very certain, that the hypothesis of an actual maximum of frequency at opposition and minimum 
at conjunction, is satisfied by the previous numbers of auroree, seen under the conditions of the varying duration 
‘of moonlight for the hours of maximum frequency. This hypothesis is in unison with the law of magnetic 
- disturbance, which is a maximum at opposition, and a minimum at conjunction. 


NOTE ON THE THEORY OF THE AURORA. 


175. Although temptations to frame hypotheses have been avoided hitherto, I cannot refrain from repeating 
here, the opinion, that the phenomena of the aurora borealis are chiefly optical. After watching the various 
phases of the aurora for some years, the hypothesis of self-luminous beams and arches appeared to me unsatis- 
factory, and the strongest argument in its favour, that obtained from the computed height of the auroral arches, 
seemed of a very doubtful character. I was quite prepared, therefore, to adopt the idea, first I believe pro- 

posed by M. Morlet to the French Academy, in May 1847, that the auroral arch is an optical phenomenon of 
“position. M. Morlet has pointed out that the arch appears generally as a segment of a circle, whereas, in these 
latitudes, it ought invariably to appear as the segment of an ellipse, if the hypothesis be true, of a real lumi- 
‘nous ring, with its centre on the continuation of the magnetic pole. He has also, among many other very 
obvious objections to that hypothesis, shewn that the summit of the arch is generally in the magnetic meridian 
of the place, the plane of which rarely passes through the magnetic pole, and seldom passes through the same 
point, for three different places. I have, however, felt even more persuaded, that the aurora is, partly at least, 
an optical phenomenon, from a consideration of that phase of the aurora constituting the corona borealis, a 
“persuasion that I stated, in the Literary Gazette of the time, in giving an account of the beautiful corona of 
October 24, 1847. Mairan and, more lately, Dalton, have explained this phase of the aurora by a hypothesis of 
olar beams, long fiery rods of solar atmosphere, according to the one, of red-hot ferruginous particles accord- 
‘ing to the other, seen in perspective, as they lie in the direction of the magnetic force. A little acquaintance 
_ with the phenomenon—the rushing and tilting of the beams against each other, one beam occasionally rising 
from the horizon, passing through the centre of the crown and beyond it—would shew the improbability of this 
hypothesis. I am persuaded, that the phenomenon of the corona borealis is produced in a narrow horizontal 
_ stratum of the earth’s atmosphere. Thanks to the discoveries of Dr Faraday, we do not now require a ferruginous 
‘sea, in order to have polarized particles ; the watery crystals that inhabit the upper regions of the atmosphere 
_ can themselves assume a polar state, determined by the passage of electric currents ; and we have only to com- 
| plete this fact by a hypothesis of luminous electric discharges seen refracted by these crystals, the position of 
| visibility of the refracted rays depending on the angles of the crystals, and the deflections from the direction of 
| magnetic force, which they suffer by the electric currents. Such a hypothesis, which occurs at once when an 
‘optical phenomenon has to be accounted for, would explain these remarkable auroral clouds, so often seen in 
connection with the aurora itself; it would also serve to explain the appearance of the arch at certain alti- 
tudes, lower for lower altitudes, determined by the position of the source of light, direction of the magnetic force 
at the place, and the effect of the electric current in deflecting the crystals. The crystals successively deflected 
| by electric currents, would also exhibit the rushing pencils or beams. It need scarcely be remarked that dif- 
ferently formed crystals might give rise to different phases of the phenomenon, while reflection might be com- 
bined with refraction in certain cases, especially in the case of arches seen south of the anti-dip. Such a hypo- 
_ thesis evidently assumes a source of light, independent of these optical resultants, and the pulsations seen in 
many aurore may be real luminosities. It is hazardous, in the present ill-arranged state of auroral observa- 
tion, to offer so rude a sketch of a new hypothesis, although we may suffer a considerable defeat in very good 
| company. 
13 Since the previous note was written, I find that M. Morlet has published a theory of the auroral arch 
(Ann. de Ch., t. xxvii., 3me Série). The ideas above were stated by me two years ago, to different persons.

ANNUAL VARIATIONS FOR THE TEMPERATURE OF THE AIR. lxxxv 


178. We may employ the monthly means in the 11th column of Table 72, for the purpose of predicting 
the mean temperature for a coming month, the probable error of the predicted temperature for each month as 
deduced approximately from the Table, bemg as follows :*— 


Jan. Feb. March. April. May. June. July. Aug. Sept. Oct. Nov. Dec. 
2°-0 2°-9 aa 1°°9 1°-9 are 1°4 1°-5 1°5 ol 1°-2 3°°2 


7 Thus, at Makerstoun, there are equal chances that the mean temperature of any month of March will not 
be more than 1°-1 from 39°5. The months of March, October, and November, shew the least variation of 
| monthly mean temperature ; the months of December, January, and February shew the greatest variation. 


TABLE 73.—Monthly Means of the Diurnal Ranges of Temperature, as deduced from the 
Observations of the Register Thermometers, for the Years 1843-6. 


179. Annual Variation of the Diurnal Range of Temperature-—From the last line of Table 73, the mean of 

| the diurnal ranges of temperature was least in December, and it was greatest in June and August. It appears 
probable, however, that when a sufficient number of years’ observations is considered, the mean of the diurnal 

‘ranges will be found to vary little from April till September. This result is analogous to that obtained for 
_ the ranges of the mean undisturbed diurnal variations of the magnetic elements. 

| The ranges of the monthly mean diurnal variations, from the hourly observations in the two years 1844-5, 
are as follow :—

These quantities indicate a result quite similar to that obtained from Table 73, though, as might be expected, 
| the ranges are considerably smaller. December has the least range, and May, June, and July have rather 
| less ranges than April, August, and September.

as the true monthly mean temperatures at Makerstoun. 


lxxxvi GENERAL RESULTS OF THE MAKERSTOUN OBSERVATIONS. 


180. Differences of the Daily Mean Temperature from the Monthly Means.—From the means of the results 
for the four years 1843-6 in the last line of Table 74, the differences of the daily mean temperature from the — 
monthly mean temperature are greatest in the six months October to March, and they are least in the remain- — 
ing six months; there are irregularities in the value of the mean difference from month to month; the mean 
difference is less in December than in the immediately preceding and succeeding months, and it has nearly the 
same value as in June. The mean difference is greatest in January, and it is least in August. From the four 
years’ observations the mean temperature of a civil day differs on the average 3°°6 from the mean tempera- 
ture for the corresponding month. 

181. The irregularity of the monthly mean temperature does not seem to be connected with that of the 
daily mean temperature; thus, March and October, which have the least variation of monthly mean tempera- 
ture, have the greatest variation of daily mean temperature, with the exception of January. 


182. Diurnal Variation of Temperature.—Table 75 has been formed in the manner already described for 
Table 12. The approximate epochs deduced from Table 75 are given in Table 76.

The following are the conclusions from the previous table :— 

1st, The minimum temperature occurs immediately before sunrise in summer, about 13 hours before it in 
winter and spring, and about half-an-hour before sunrise in autumn; it is evident, however, that accuracy 
in the determination of the interval is not increased by combining several months together, since, in the result 
for the year, the minimum appears to occur at a greater interval from sunrise than in any of the quarters. 

2d, The maximum temperature occurs latest after noon before the autumnal and after the vernal equinox ; 
it occurs nearest noon in summer, but the temperature changes very slowly in that quarter from 1" to 3" P.M.

3d, The intervals between the epochs of mean temperature and of the maximum temperature are nearly equal 

in spring and autumn; the afternoon interval is greatest in summer, and it is least in winter. If we except 
summer, the temperature increases as rapidly from the mean to the maximum, as it diminishes from the 
maximum to the mean ; the slight difference in autumn between the values of the intervals, and even that in 
summer may be due to error in the epoch of maximum resulting from the fewness of the observations. In 
each quarter, with the exception of summer, the temperature diminishes more rapidly after the maximum till 
sunset than it increased during equal time before the maximum.* It will be seen from the column for the year, 
‘in Table 75, that the mean temperature for the pairs of hours before and after 1" and 2” p.m., are equal or 
nearly equal till the pair 95 10™ a.m. and 62 10™ p.m., which are also nearly equal, so that the mean diurnal 
curve for the year from 9" 10™ a.m. till 6" 10™ p.m. is symmetrical about a vertical axis. ;

183. Annual Variation of the Pressure of Aqueous Vapour.—The pressure of aqueous vapour, as deduced 
from the observations of the dry and wet bulb thermometers, is least in February, being in the mean of 4 years 
= 0-198 inch of mercury, and it is greatest in August = 0-393 inch, the difference between the greatest and least 

_monthly means being nearly two-tenths of an inch. The mean pressure for each of the four months December

effect, especially on the aqueous contents of our atmosphere ; in order if possible to determine this, the discus- 
sions, of which the results are contained in Table 78, were made for each year; the means of the 4 years 
indicate as follows,— 


1st, That on the whole, the pressure of aqueous vapour was greater about opposition than about conjunc-— 
tion; the average pressure of each.of the 15 days forming the second and third quarters being 0-003 inch 
above the mean, and of each of the 15 days forming the fourth and first quarters being 0-003 inch below the | 
mean. 

2d, That the pressure of aqueous vapour was greatest from about the period of the moon’s farthest 
southerly position, till near its farthest northerly position ; that it was least from its farthest northerly pose F 
till it was nearly farthest south. j 

3d, If the first result be considered true, then the aqueous vapour pressure varies with the moonlight ; as 
this pressure is greatest in the months from June to September (No. 183), during which the moon is in con- 
junction in its ascent from its most southerly declination, and least in the months from December to March, 
during which it is in conjunction in its descent from its most northerly position, the second result is probably i 
a consequence of the first.

These epochs do not differ greatly from those for the temperature of the air, the principal difference is to be * 
found in the variation of the epochs of maximum with season; the maximum pressure of aqueous vapour 
occurs earliest near the equinoxes, and latest near the solstices, whereas the reverse is the case for the tem- 

perature of the air. In the mean for the year, the mean pressure of aqueous vapour occurs at 85 0™ 4.m., and “4

ANNUAL VARIATIONS FOR THE ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE. x¢cl 


190. Annual Variation of the Atmospheric Pressure.—Eight years’ observations appear insufficient for an 
accurate determination of this law. If we give the monthly means for each year equal weight, we find the 
_ probable error of the means in the last column of Table 83 to be 


Jan. Feb. March. April. May. June. July. Aug. Sept. Oct. Nov. Dec. 
in. in. in. in. in. in. in. in. in. i in. 


0-043 0:045 0-037 0-040 0:028 0-020 0-016 0:021 0-024 0-030 0-025 0-044 


The probable errors of the means for the five months December to April are greatest, and they are least 
for the months June, July, and August. The irregularity of the monthly mean pressure is therefore least at 
the hottest season, and greatest at the coldest season of the year ; it does not vary, however, with the irregu- 
larity of the monthly mean temperature. (See No. 178.) It is evident from these probable errors that the 
accurate epochs cannot be obtained from the last column of Table 83. If we take the means of each couple 

_ of months, the probable error of each mean will be reduced to about a half (the probable error of the mean 
of December and January, = 0°024 inch, of January and February, = 0-019 inch, &c.), and the annual law 
will be more certain ; these means are as follow :—

29 in. ‘548 -568 -601 “666 -683 °643 °636 -685 -631 -527 °581 -600 


_ These numbers give nearly the same result as that derivable from the simple means in the last column of 
_ Table 83. It is probable, therefore, that at Makerstoun the atmospheric pressure is a maximum from May to 
_ September, being rather less for the intermediate months than for the first and last of that period; that it is 
a minimum in the end of October and in the beginning of February, a secondary maximum occurring in the 
end of December.* 

191. The quarterly groups which give the greatest range of mean pressure are the following,—

i * Having examined the excellent series of barometric observations made under the direction of the Astronomer Royal at 


Greenwich, simultaneously with the Makerstoun series, for the purpose of comparing the annual law at the two places, the conclu- 
sions are given briefly in this note. 

1st, From the means of 9 years’ observations (1841-9) at Greenwich, the atmospheric pressure is a maximum from May to Septem- 
ber, the secondary minimum seen between these months at Makerstoun being wholly wanting; it is alsoa maximum in December, and, 
unlike the Makerstoun result, the mean for December is the greatest ; it is a minimum in October and November, as at Makerstoun; 
and it is a minimum again in April, about two months after the corresponding minimum for Makerstoun. 

2d, When we compare the Greenwich monthly means for the 8 years 1842-9 with the Makerstoun monthly means for the same 
years, both being reduced to the level of the sea, and to 32° Fahrenheit, we find the barometer at Greenwich higher than at Maker- 
stoun in each month, and for the whole period as follows :— 


Jan. Feb. March. April, May. June. July. Aug. Sept. Oct. Nov. Dec. Year. 
in. in. in. in. in. in, in, in. in. in. in, in. in. 
0167 = 0133 0:097 0-031 0014 ~~ 0-087 0-114 0:097 =: 0035 0-112 0140 0:146 0:098 


Whence it appears that for the same (sea) level, the barometer, on the average of 8 years, is one-tenth of an inch lower at Maker- 
stoun than at Greenwich, 4° 6’ farther south ; and that this difference of pressure varies with the month. The excess of the atmos- 
pheric pressure at Greenwich over that at Makerstoun is a principal maximum in January, the coldest month; and it is a maximum 
again in July, the hottest month ; it is a minimum in April and May, and again in September. It may be remarked, with reference 
to this curious result, that the positions of Greenwich ‘and Makerstoun are much alike; nearly on the same meridian, and nearly 
_ equi-distant from the eastern coast of the island. There is no doubt that the greater proximity of Greenwich to the Continent has 
an effect upon iff temperature, the mean temperature of Greenwich being only 2° higher than that of Makerstoun in winter, while 
it is 5° higher in summer. 
3d, From the mean of 8 years the atmospheric pressure at Greenwich is 0:098 inch greater than at Makerstoun, but the excess 
is by no means constant for each year; the excesses for each year are,—

The excess varies as much as half its mean value, and appears, on the whole, greatest in the hottest years and least in the coldest. 

4th, The following coincidences may be mentioned. The epochs of the annual law of mean atmospheric pressure (especially those 
for Greenwich) are nearly the same as for the annual law of magnetic declination (No. 9); and the law of differences of pressure 
for the two places has nearly the same epochs as the annual law for the magnetic force (No. 136).

Xcll GENERAL RESULTS OF THE MAKERSTOUN OBSERVATIONS 


The mean pressure for the six months October to March is 0-100 inch less than that for the six months 
April to September, while the range of the quarterly groups for the meteorological seasons is only 0-057 in. 
Neglecting therefore the minor variations, the law of atmospheric pressure is distinguished by a maximum for 
the six months during which the sun is north of the equator, and a minimum for the six months during which 
itis south of the equator. The means for the separate quarters show no direct connection with temperature, 
since April to June, and July to September have nearly the same mean pressure.

MoNTHLY VARIATIONS FOR THE ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE. xelil 


The monthly mean diurnal range does not vary greatly in the six months for which the sun is south of 
the equator, nor in the six months for which it is north of the equator; thus, the mean range for the six 
months October to March = 0-257 in., and for the six months April to September = 0-170 in. On the 
whole, the diurnal range varies inversely with the monthly mean pressure. See No. 197 where the ranges of 
the mean diurnal variations are considered.

194. Variation of the Diurnal Range of Atmospheric Pressure with the Moon’s Age.—Investigations have 
been entered into by different meteorologists for the purpose of exhibiting the effect of the varying position of the 
moon upon the mean daily pressure of the atmosphere ; their success has been on the whole very doubtful. In 
our latitudes it is not easy to extricate the laws of these variations on account of the magnitude of the irregular 
| changes ; it was for this reason that, after discussing the daily mean pressures for the year 1843 with refer- 

ence to the lunar arguments, the discussion of the diurnal ranges was substituted for that of the daily means ; 
as it was conceived that the variation of the diurnal range might be considerable (as in the case of the oceanic 
| tides, &c.), though the variation of the mean should be nearly or altogether zero ; such had been found to be 
| the case for the magnetic declination. The results of these discussions for each year, and for the mean of four 
| years, are given in the first part of Table 86. The results for the four years are wonderfully consistent, and 

_ that of the mean of the four years may be expressed thus.—The diurnal range of the barometer is a minimum 
"near opposition, and it is a maximum about the beginning of the second quarter, and immediately after con- 
junction ; perhaps the intermediate minimum near conjunction is accidental and might disappear in a larger series. 
The range of these mean numbers is very considerable, upwards of half-a-tenth of an inch, and it is probable 
that had the means for single days of the argument been given, the range would have been nearly twice as 
_ great. This result is wholly different from what we should have expected when comparing the oscillation of 
the atmosphere with that of the ocean, and it appears difficult to offer an explanation for it ; we shall find how- 
ever when we examine Table 91, that it is probably connected with the force of the wind; at least that obeys 
the same law, the diurnal range of the barometer being greatest when the force of the wind is greatest. 


195. Variation of the Diurnal Range of the Atmospheric Pressure with Reference to the Moon’s Declina- 
tion.—The values for four years for this argument are given in the second part of Table 86; the results for 
each year agree here also to a remarkable extent with that shewn by the mean of the whole four years. The 
diurnal range of the barometer is a maximum when the moon is farthest north, it is a minimum when the 
moon is south of the equator. This result is also connected with that for the force of the wind (see No. 201), 
the diurnal range of the barometer being greatest when the force of the wind is greatest, and vice versa.

Table 87 has been formed thus :—The hourly means for each quarter were obtained for each year ; those for 
1844 and 1845 were corrected for continuous barometric change as described in the volume for 1844, p. 422, 
excepting that the change of pressure from 11" to 12", was considered equal to the mean of the changes from } 
108 to 114 and from 12+ to 1", (instead of from 10" to 11" only): the hourly means for each quarter were 
then combined in the manner already described for the magnetic declination, No. 26. :

196. Diurnal Variation of the Atmospheric Pressure.—From Table 87, this consists of two maxima and 
two minima in each quarter of the year: the approximate epochs in apparent time, as deduced from the projec- _ 
tions of Table 87 (see Plate IX.), are given in Table 88. 

1st, The principal maximum occurs in the evening in spring, and in the forenoon in the other quarters; 
the principal minimum occurs in the morning in winter and spring, and in the afternoon in summer and 
autumn. < 

2d, The morning minimum occurs earliest in summer and latest in winter, obeying something like the law — 
of sunrise, though the difference of epochs is variable, the minimum occurring about 3 hours before sunrise ne 
winter, and immediately before sunrise in summer: the epoch of minimum temperature had a nearly similar — 
relation to that of sunrise, but the similarity of the relations of the two classes of facts is more apparent than — 
real, since the temperature of the air varies little in winter from 62 p.m. till 82 a.m. 

3d, The morning maximum occurs latest in spring and earliest in summer, the difference of the epochs 
for the two seasons being nearly three hours. 


PRESSURE OF THE WIND. XCV 


4th, The afternoon minimum occurs earliest in winter and latest in summer, the difference of the epochs 
being nearly three hours. The epochs of this minimum have some relation to those for sunset as the morning 
minimum epochs had to sunrise, thus :—In winter, the morning minimum occurs about three hours before 
sunrise, in summer the afternoon minimum occurs about three hours before sunset; in winter the afternoon 
minimum occurs about one hour and a half before sunset, in summer the morning minimum occurs about half- 
an-hour before sunrise. 

5th, The afternoon maximum occurs latest in summer and earliest in spring ; the difference of the epochs is 
two and a half hours. 

6th, It is not easy to relate the variations of the epochs of the maxima to those of any other facts ; itis to be 
observed, however, that the morning maximum occurs nearest noon in spring and farthest from noon in summer, 
while the afternoon maximum occurs farthest from midnight in spring and nearest midnight in summer.

197. The total oscillations from one turning point to the next are given in Table 89, with the hourly rate 
of change; from these, we find that the change of pressure, from the morning minimum to the morning 
| maximum, is greatest in winter and least in summer ; from the afternoon minimum to the evening maximum, 
| it is least in winter and greatest in summer ; from the morning maximum to the afternoon minimum, it is least 
| in spring and greatest in summer; from the evening maximum to the morning minimum, it is greatest in winter 
| and least in summer. On the whole, when we compare the diurnal variations with respect to season, both as 
to the epochs and relative amounts of the oscillations, from turning point to turning point, we arrive at the fol- 
lowing conclusion :—1s¢, That the law of diurnal variation of atmospheric pressure at Makerstoun, is almost 
| precisely the same in winter as it is in summer, if we substitute noon for midnight, and p.m. for a.m, in the 
| former.* 2d, As the diurnal variation for spring is analogous to that for winter, and the diurnal variation 
) for autumn is similar to that for summer, the same law of opposition holds for spring and autumn as for 

summer and winter. See Plate IX. 
3d, The whole diurnal oscillation is greatest in winter, and it is least in summer. 


PRESSURE OF THE WIND. 


198. In the volumes for the years 1843 and 1844, both the maximum pressures of the wind occurring 
betwixt the hours of observations and the observed pressures within 7™ to 10™ at the hours of observation were 
discussed ; as both discussions gave the same results, and as the latter make an approximation to the actual 
‘continuous mean pressures, only the means of the pressures occurring within 7™ to 10™ at the hours of obser- 
vation will be considered here. 


* This curious fact, it seems to me, is wholly opposed to what may be termed the temperature theory of the regular diurnal 
yariation of atmospheric pressure ; the best marked barometric oscillation at Makerstoun occurs while the temperature and pressure 
of aqueous vapour are nearly constant, namely, in winter between 64 P.M. and 9} A.M,

199. Annual Variation of the Approximate Mean Pressures of the Wind,—From the means of 4 years’ 
observations, the wind blew with the greatest mean force in January, and with the least mean force in Septem-_ 
ber. The mean pressure, however, varies little for the six months October to March, while the sun is south 
of the equator; it is nearly constant for the three months, April, May, and June, diminishing gradually from 
June to September. September is the month of least pressure in each year, excepting 1844; the month of 
maximum pressure is more variable, January in 1843, November in 1844, December in 1845, "and Mareh i In

200. Approximate Mean Pressure of Wind with Reference to the Moon’s Age,—The mean result from the 
first portion of Table 91 shews, that the pressure of the wind was a maximum at conjunction and a minimum near 
opposition. The result for each year shews a well-marked minimum near opposition, and a maximum near 
conjunction. It has already been noticed (No. 194), that the diurnal range of the atmospheric pressure obeys 
a similar law; that is to say, for this argument, the diurnal oscillation of the statical pressure of the atmosphere 
is a maximum when its dynamical pressure is a maximum. 

201. Approximate Mean Pressure of the Wind with Reference to the Moon’s Declination.—From the last 
column of Table 91, the mean result of 4 years’ observations, it appears that the pressure of the wind is a maximum 
when the moon is farthest north. This result is shewn with some distinctness in each year, excepting in 1843, 
for which the maximum occurs when the moon is farthest south ; there is, however, the appearance of a maxi- 
mum near the time of the moon’s farthest southerly position in the years 1845 and 1846; and, indeed, in the 
mean for the 4 years ; it is probable therefore that the minimum pressure of the wind occurs when the moon 


is near the equator. The same relation, between the diurnal oscillation of the statical pressure of the atmos- 
phere and its dynamical pressure, holds as in No. 200.

202. Diurnal Variation of the Mean Pressure of the Wind.—It is evident from the means in Table 92, 
that 4 years’ observations are too few to destroy the irregularities produced by the large atmospheric disturb- 
ances ; the following, however, are the approximate epochs of maximum and minimum :— 


Minimum. Mean. Maximum. Mean.

| It will be seen that the variation of the pressure of the wind obeys a law analogous to that of the variation of 
| temperature, while the sun is above the horizon ; it follows the ascent and descent of the sun, however, more 
| closely than the temperature: thus, in winter the mean pressure of the wind occurs almost exactly at sunrise 
and at sunset, and the maximum occurs immediately after mid-day, in all instances anticipating the correspond- 
| ing epochs for the temperature by an hour or more. A similar difference is observable in each quarter; this 
will be seen most satisfactorily in Plate IX., where the dotted curves of wind pressure are projected on the same 
mean or zero lines; as the curves for the temperature of the air: while the day portions of the curves are evi- 
| dently connected with each other, this is not the case during the night ; the minimum pressure of wind has upon 
the whole the same relation to midnight that the maximum has to mid-day. In winter the pressure varies 
irregularly from hour to hour during the night; in summer and autumn the pressure is nearly constant for 
some hours before and after midnight. When we consider the mean for the year, we find the ordinates of 
equal value in the day portion of the curve at times equidistant from 1" p.m., and in the night portion of the 
curve, from 1" 4.m.: the pressure of the wind, therefore, is related more directly to the position of the sun than 
to the temperature of the place, especially during the night. 

The range of the mean diurnal variation is least in winter, and it is greatest in spring and summer—the 
| Tanges are—

variation free from irregularity. The wind blew during the greatest number of hours in October and in June, 
and it blew during the least number of hours in January. See Table 93.

204. Annual Variation of the Mean Pressure of the Wind while blowing—We have in No. 199 consi- 
dered the annual variation of the mean pressure of the wind with reference to time, the sums of the observed 
pressures being divided by the whole number of observations ; in the present case the sums of the observed 
pressures are divided only by the number of observations for which the wind was blowing: thus, in November 
1843, the wind was observed blowing at little more than half the whole number of observation hours; conse- 
quently the mean pressure with reference to the whole number of observations for that month (Table 90) is 
only a half of the mean pressure with which the wind was observed blowing (Table 94). The law is the 
same for both means, but it is better marked in the present case than in that of No. 199. The wind blows with 
the greatest force in January, and with the least force in September.

_ These numbers still present several irregularities ; on the whole, however, the wind blows with the greatest 
_ force about 15 p.m., and with the least force about 7" p.m., or about an hour after noon and an hour after sunset 
respectively ; another minimum of force occurs at 7% a.m., an hour after sunrise, and a secondary maximum 
occurs between 11" p.m. and 5 a.m., the exact epoch is not deducible from these means; the means for 1844 


and 1845 only, place it near midnight. 


ie 207. Yearly Mean Value and Direction of the Resultant Wind.—From the last line of Table 95, it appears 
_ that the direction of the resultant wind was nearly constant in each of the three years, 1843, 1844, and 1845.— 
_ 1846 appears to have been quite anomalous; in each of the former years there are eight or nine months in 
which the resultant wind blows from between west and south, for only two or three of these months is the 
resultant nearer south than west; but in 1846 there are ten months, for which the resultant wind blows from 
between south and west, and for eight of these it is nearer south than west. 
a If we neglect the year 1846, the winds at Makerstoun are equivalent to one continuous wind blowing from 
nearly WSW. with a force approximately of about two-tenths of a pound on a square foot of surface.

208. Annual Variation of the Force and Direction of the Resultant Winds.—The details of these discus- 

sions will be found in pages 64 and 84 of this volume, p. 295, 1848, and p. 4384, 1844. From Table 95, it 

appears that— 

1st, The sums of pressures of the northerly winds are greatest in the months of February, March, April, 

and May ; they are least in the months of July, August, September, and November. 

2d, The sums of pressures of the easterly winds are twice a maximum and twice a minimum in the year; 

_ they are a principal maximum in May, and a secondary maximum in November; they are a minimum in July 

‘and August, and in December and January. 

3d, The sums of pressures of the southerly winds are greatest in November and January, and they are 

Teast in September. 

4th, The sums of pressures of the westerly winds are greatest in December and J anuary, and they are least 

"3 n September. 

5th, When we examine the approximate mean forces of the resultant wind for each month, we find that on 

the whole they exhibit two maxima and two minima in the course of the year. The resultant wind is a principal 
“maximum in January, and a secondary maximum in June and July ; it is a minimum in May and in September. 

| 6th, The direction of the resultant wind is from 17° north of west in February, from 4° north of west in 

April, from 24° east of north in May, and from between west and south in the remaining nine months of the year.

c GENERAL RESULTS OF THE MAKERSTOUN OBSERVATIONS. 


Of the nine months in which the resultant wind is from between west and south, there are eight, for which it 
occurs between W. 20° S., and W. 40° S., or nearly between WSW. and SW.; in November the resultant 
wind is most southerly, coming from W. 59° S. nearly SW by S. 

209. If we compare the mean of the pressures observed in all directions (last line of Table 90), in each 
month, with the resultant mean pressure of the wind, the ratio will evidently give some measure of the varia- 
bility of the wind; where, by variability is meant the amount of opposedness of the masses of air in motion 
during the period considered, without relation to the frequency of the oppositions ; the ratios are for each month as 
follow :— 


Jan, Feb. Mar. April, May, June, July, Aug. Sep. Oct. Nov. Dec. 
15 3'l 2°3 4-6 75 2°0 1-7 2°35 34 2°2 2:0 16 


Of the whole amount of air in motion during each month, the greatest proportions proceed from one quadrant 
or direction in December and January, the coldest period of the year, and also in July, the hottest month of 
the year; the winds are most equally distributed in all the quadrants in the months of April and May; a 
secondary maximum of variability occurring again in September. 


210. Diurnal Variation of the Resultant Mean Pressure of the Wind.—The following are the values of 
the resultant mean pressure for each hour, as deduced from the observations for the years 1843-6 :—

From these means the maximum occurs before 1" p.m., and the minimum occurs between 6" p.m, and 1" a.m. 


211. Diurnal Variation of the Direction of the Resultant Wind,—It was first pointed out in the volume 
of Makerstoun Observations for 1843, p. 300, that the direction of the resultant wind had a diurnal variation, 
being more towards the south of west in the morning and evening than about mid-day; this result was con- 
firmed with great distinctness in the discussion of the Observations for 1844 (vol. 1844, p. 438, and Plate 
XVI.) ; an equally distinct result has been obtained from the observations for 1845 (p. 64 of this volume) ; 
this has not been the case with the observations for 1846, a year which, when compared with the others, was ano- 
malous in all its resultant directions (see No. 207). The following Table contains the means of the resultant 
directions of each month for the years 1844 and 1845, and for the four years 1843-6, each year receiving an 
equal value, and the means for the four years being obtained, as described No. 26.

The range of the variation for the four years 1843-6 is somewhat diminished by the anomalous numbers for 
1846; but both series agree in shewing the resultant wind to be most westerly about 3" p.m., and most — 


southerly between 8" p.m. and 4 a.m.

PRESSURE AND DIRECTION OF THE WIND. cl 


212. The following numbers are the ratios for each second hour of the hourly mean pressures observed 
in all directions (obtained from the year-column of Table 92, by the addition of 0-46, the mean pressure for 
_ the 4 years), to the resultant mean pressures, No 210.

We may conclude, as in No. 209, that of the total mass of air in motion at each hour, the greatest proportion 
_ was from the same quadrant or direction at 2 a.m., and the greatest proportion was from opposite directions 
at 4° p.m, 


213. Times which the Wind blew from the 16 Principal Points of the Compass.—The times which the 
wind was observed blowing from each point of the compass, at the observation hours, are given for each year 
_ in the previous and in the present volume; for 1843 and 1846 the sums for 12 two-hourly observations are 
_ given, having doubled these to make them comparable with the means from the hourly observations of 1844 
_ and 1845, the sums for four years for each point were obtained: the sums for each of the 16 principal points 
_ were then formed in this manner ;—the sum of the times in the north was made equal to half the sum of the 
_ times in N by W., plus half the sum of the times in N by E., plus the sum of the times observed in N. ; and 


similarly for each of the other 16 points.* The sums thus obtained from the four years’ observations are as 
follow :— 


N. NNE. NE. ENE. E. ESE. SE. SSE. Ss. SSsw. SW. WSW. W. WNW. NW. NNW. 
4 779 =-1818 1668 867 431 77 329 575 1088 2672 4212 1949 1198 726 932 866 


The wind blew most frequently with a pressure of 0-1 Ib., or upwards, from a few degrees south of SW., the 
_ number of times diminishes rapidly to WNW., increases slightly in NW., diminishes from thence to N., it then 
ied considerably to a few degrees north of NE., where the secondary maximum occurs almost diametri- 
- cally opposite to the principal maximum of frequency ; from NE. the frequency diminishes to a few degrees 

south of ESE., where it is a principal minimum, a secondary minimum occurring in the opposite point; from 
_ ENE. the number increases rapidly to the maximum at SW. See curve 6 in the figure.

* The combination into the 16 principal points was rendered necessary by the fact, that in observing the direction of the wind 
from an oscillating vane-index, there is a tendency in all cases of doubt to prefer the principal to the secondary point, for which 
, teason the numbers of observations for each of the 16 principal points were always greater than for either of the two adjacent points. 


cu GENERAL RESULTS OF THE MAKERSTOUN OBSERVATIONS. 


214. Sums of the Pressures with which the Wind blew from each of the 16 Principal Points of the Com- 
pass.—Following the same procedure as in No. 213, we obtain the following sums of pressure from four years’ 
observations, of 24 a-day, the sums being of the maximum pes observed within 10™ at the hours of obser- 
vation. (See No. 198.) 


N. NNE. NE. ENE. E. ESE. SE. SSE. Ss. SSW. Sw. wsw. WwW. WNW. NW. NNW.

The sums of pressures obey nearly the same laws as the frequency with which the wind blew ; the greatest sum 
of pressures occurred a few degrees south of SW.; the sum then diminishes to W., varies little from WNW. to 
N. being, on the whole, less at NNW. than for the adjacent points ; it becomes a secondary maximum about — 
NE: by N., a principal minimum at ESE. (See curve a in the figure, p. ci.) 


215. Mean Pressure with which the Wind blew from each of the 16 Principal Points of the Compass.—Di- 
viding the sums of pressures for each of these points (No. 214) by the number of observations for which the 
wind was observed blowing at 0-1 Ib., or upwards (No, 213), we obtain the following mean pressures with which — 
the wind blew from each of the 16 points :— 


N. NNE. NE. ENE. E. ESE. SE. SSE. S. SSW. SW. Wsw. Ww. WNW. NW. NNW. | 
lb. lb. Ib. Ib. Ib. lb. lb. Tb. lb. lb. Ib. lb. Ib. Ib. Ib. lb.

The wind blew with the greatest force from WNW. and N., and with the least force from NE. and ESE., 
but the mean force was nearly constant between NE. and SE. The mean force with which the wind blew be- 
tween NNE. and SSE. = 0-52 lb., between NNW. and SSW. = 0-78 Ib., or in the ratio of 2 to 3. When 
the projection of the previous values upon the directional radii are connected, a very symmetrical figure is — 
formed, having three minima at intervals of about 80°, namely, at NE., NW by N., and WSW. (See curve 
c in the figure, p. ci.) 


Motions OF DIFFERENT CURRENTS OF AIR. 


216. Difference of the Directions of Motion of the Upper and Lower Currents of Air.—The mode in which 
the directions of motion of the clouds were observed is described in the introductions to the previous,volumes 
in the section, “ State of the Sky.’’ The process by which the results for the differences of motion of the dif-— 
ferent currents were obtained by the combination of simultaneous observations, will be found stated in the 
volume for 1844, p. 440. The detailed results for each of the four years 1843-6 are given in separate tables in 
the present and in the previous volumes. The total number of comparisons of the currents of seud, cirro-stratus, 
and cirrus, with the surface-current, and of the cirro-stratous and cirrous-currents with the scud-current, was in 
1843, 865 ; the numbers of results (each of from five to two comparisons) were in 1844, 995 ; in 1845, 964; 
and in 1846, 541. In the discussion for 1843 only one or two simultaneous observations were termed a com- 
parison ; from five to two simultaneous observations were termed a result for the three following years (see 1844, 
p. 440); but as the values of the final results for each year were not considered greatly different, the numbers 
of comparisons of 1843, diminished by a tenth, have received the weight of the results in the following years, 
and the numbers of results for 1846 were increased by a half in the combinations given below. The weights 
of the four years 1843, 1844, 1845, and 1846, were taken on the whole, therefore, as 779 : 995 : 964: 811. 

217. The scud-current includes the cumulus ; the cirro-stratous current includes also the cloud termed in the 
Makerstoun Observations the cirro-cumulo-stratus : this cloud, so frequently seen, has received no name in 
Mr Howarn’s classification ; it belongs to the region of the cirro-strati, and is composed of great numbers of 
clouds like small cirro-strati, arranged with a cirro-cumulous disposition. After this name had been applied to” 
this cloud for some time, I discovered that Mr Howarp had given it already to the Nimbus. The cirrous 
current includes the cirro-cumulus. The order of reckoning being from north, by the east, south, and west, 
one current is considered positive of another when it proceeds from a point more southerly j in the eastern semi- 
circle and more northerly in the western semi-circle. 

218. When we consider the results for each quadrant, we find they present differences, both in the values | 
and signs of the mean differences of the directions of motion ; in three of the quadrants, however, namely E to 
S., S to W., and W to N., the signs are the same; in every case the mean upper currents proceed from points 
positive of the currents below them. In the quadrant S to W. by far the greatest number of results have 
been obtained, and they are by far the most regular and distinct. Thus, in 774 results, each obtained from several 
comparisons of the current of scud with the surface-wind, 664 shewed the scud-current to proceed from a point 


=o 


Morions OF DIFFERENT CURRENTS OF AIR. Clil 


24° more northerly than the surface wind ; while there were only 58 results shewing a more southerly motion, 
and 19 in which both currents proceeded from the same point. It might be supposed that the regular differ- 
ence of these currents was due to some peculiar configuration of the surface of the country around the Obser- 
Yatory, but this is disproved by the results of the comparison of the upper currents with each other ; thus, the 
cirro-stratous current, compared with the scud-current, shews on the average of 255 results that the upper 
eurrent proceeds from a point 14° more northerly than the lower current: a similar result is obtained from a 
comparison of the cirrous current with the scud-current.

219. It happens frequently that comparisons of the motions of two currents are obtained when the others 
do not exist, or are not evident from the absence of clouds within them or from the masses of clouds in the lower 
current ; it is for this reason that the comparison of motions above, obtained from observations partly simul- 
taneous and partly not, are to a considerable extent independent of each other ; yet it will be seen that they in 
general confirm each other. Thus, the differences of the mean results for the first two comparisons (in Table 
97) should give the difference for the third ; so in the quadrant S. to W. we have 33°—20°= + 138°; and the 
partly independent comparisons for the cirro-stratous minus the scud-current, give +14°; and as the differ- 

ences of the first and fourth comparisons should give the fifth (in Table 97), we have 36°—20°= +16°; and 
the partly independent comparisons for the cirrus minus scud, give +20°. We obtain similar results in the 
quadrants E. to 8. and W. to N., but the differences of the motions are less marked. This appears to be due 
chiefly to the greater proportion of negative results in these two quadrants. The means for the positive results 
do not differ greatly in any of the quadrants. In the quadrant N. to E. we find all the three cloud-currents 
|" positive of the surface-current, but only to the extent of 2° in the case of the cirro-stratous current; while the 
cirro-stratous and cirrous currents appear on the whole 1° or 2° negative of the scud-current. These differences 
| appear due to causes belonging chiefly to the sudden appearances of the north-east winds, which are chiefly sur- 
| face-winds, and are nearly or altogether unconnected with the upper currents. 
220. When we combine the results in the four quadrants for each class of comparisons, we have the fol- 


lowing means :— 


Scud-current minus surface-current, mean of 1434 results, = +4+14°5 


Cirro-stratous current minus surface-current, mean of 754 results, = +22°8 
| Cirrous current minus surface-current, mean of 349 results, = +29°6 
| Cirro-stratous current minus scud-current, mean of 683 results, =4+ 6°9 
|" Cirrous current minus scud-current, mean of 389 results, = +137

The mean resultant direction for the three cloud-currents, giving each an equal value, is W. 1° N. The mean 
resultant direction of all the currents, giving each an equal value, is W. 4° S. 

221. If we neglect the distinctions of the upper currents, and consider merely the differences of all the — 
results for the cloud-currents compared with the surface-wind, we obtain the following numbers :—

The mean upper current, therefore, is least positive of the surface-current in the quadrant N. to E., and it is 
most positive in the quadrant 8. to W.; the mean result for each couple of opposite quadrants is nearly the 
same, namely, 15° and 16°. 

222. If we compare in a similar manner the mean cirro-stratous and cirrous current with the scud-cur- 
rent in each quadrant, we have,—

In the quadrant N. to E. the mean of the two upper currents seems to differ nothing from the scud-current, and © 
nearly the same seems to hold for the quadrant W. to N.; but in the southern quadrants the mean upper cur- 
rent is positive of the scud-current 16°. 

223. It appears, then, from the previous numbers, that the mean upper current always proceeds from a point 
positive of the direction of the swrface-current, and that the motion of the mean of the higher currents, compared 
with the motion of the scud-current, obeys the same law in the southern quadrants. These results are in accord- 
ance with the conclusions from the causes of the oblique motions of the aérial currents. Currents of air pro- 
ceeding northwards from more southerly positions retain a portion of the excess of eastward velocity of the places 
from which they start ; hence the south-easterly winds become more southerly, and the south winds become more — 
south-westerly, as they proceed northwards ; the extent of the change of direction depending on the greater or 
less rapidity with which they lose their excess of eastward velocity and acquire that of the more northerly lati- _ 
tudes on which they move. This loss of eastward velocity will depend upon the proximity of the aérial stratum — 
to the surface of the earth, and therefore the lower currents of air will lose more of their eastward velocity than i 
the higher currents, and the upper current of southerly winds will become more westerly than the lower cur- — 
rents. If, in considering the currents of air which proceed southwards from more northern latitudes, we re- _ 
member that the lower currents, from their proximity to the surface of the earth, acquire the greater eastwa 


north siguld become less easterly than the upper current. This, it will he observed, agrees with the results 4 
previously obtained ; we find, however, in the northern quadrants, that the scud-current differs less from the - 
surface-current than it does in the southern quadrants ; this, it is conceived, is due to the fact that this ae 
js nearer the surface in the northern than in the southern quadrants : it may, however, be due also to the ~ 
greater proximity of the origin of the currents. We find also that the mean upper currents differ little or — 
nothing from the scud-current in the northern quadrants ; it is only necessary to examine the numbers in Table _ 
97 to see that this is not due to the smallness of the differences of motions of these currents, but to the num- 
bers of positive and negative results beg more nearly equal. It has been frequently observed that when the 
lower current of scud is from a north-easterly point the current of cirri is from a north-westerly point ; these 
currents could not have had the same origin, and therefore the explanation of the differences of motions given — 
above cannot apply ; this difference of origin occurs in all the quadrants, and diminishes the apparent effect of 
the variable velocity of the earth’s surface ; it occurs seldomest in the south-west quadrant.

for the Years 1842-50. 


March, | April. 


225. Annual Variation of the Extent of Clouded Sky.—In the mean of 8 years the sky was most clouded 
in July and least clouded in December ; the change from month to month is by no means regular ; on the whole, 
however, the extent of sky clouded is greatest for the 5 months April to August, and it is least in the 4 
months September to December. The means for these groups of months are as follow :— 


Jan.—Mar.=6:94. April—August=7:29. Sept.—Dec.=6-63. 
The means for the meteorological quarters are,— 
Winter, Dec._Feb.= 6:68. Spring, Mar—May=7'14. Summer, June—Aug.=7'31. Autumn, Sept—Nov.= 6:79 


The least extent of sky clouded for any month in the 8 years occurred September 1843 = 5:26. 

The greatest extent of sky clouded for any month in the 8 years occurred July 1846=8-71. 

The mean for the month of December in each year was less than the mean for the year ; and the mean for the 
month of July in each year was greater than the mean for the year. 


} 226. Variation of the extent of Clouded Sky, with the Moon’s Age.—It is well known that no heat has been 
detected in the moon-light even with the aid of the largest parabolic reflectors ; it was conceived possible, how- 
ever, that though no thermal indication could be obtained at the surface of the earth, yet there might be some 
found in the dissipation or formation of clouds in the upper regions of the atmosphere; the observations of 
the extent of clouded sky for 1843 were accordingly discussed for this purpose in the volume for that year, 
page 303: the result was very indefinite; it was remarked, however, that as no observations were made in 
that year between 9" p.m. and 5* a.m., the period when the moon’s heating effect must be greatest, little else 
could have been expected. In the volume for 1844, p. 443, the discussion was repeated ; from it the extent of 
clouded sky appeared on the whole greater about full moon than about new moon ;—thus, the daily mean for 
the 15 days about full moon = 7:05, whereas the daily mean for the 15 days about new moon = 7:14; and 
the daily mean for the 7 days about full moon = 6:94, and about new moon = 7:24. The difference of these 
| numbers is still very small, and it was remarked (1844, p. 443), on account of the irregularities introduced 
by the sun’s cloud-forming power, that it might be desirable to limit the investigation to the hours of the night ; 
this has been done for the years 1844 and 1845 in the present volume, Table XXXIX., page 66, where the 
| extent of clouded sky is given for each day of the moon’s age and position in declination in each year, as de- 
duced from the 6-hourly observations between 9" p.m. and 2" a.m. It will be seen from No. 229 that the 
, Variation of the extent of clouded sky in the mean of the year is small for these hours, which include the epoch

of the minimum in the diurnal variation ; they are also the night-hours during which the effect of the full moon 
must be greatest : upon the whole, this mode of determining the fact, from a short series of observations, seems 
open to the fewest objections. The following Table contains the means for groups of 3 or 4 days.

227. The values for each year indicate that the extent of sky clouded was greatest about full moon, and least — 
about new moon ; this is shewn with greatest distinctness in the means for 1845. We obtain the same result 
if we take from Table XXXIX., p. 66, the means for the 15 days with full moon in the middle, and for 15 days 
with new moon in the middle; these are, for 1844, 6:72 and 6°37; for 1845, 7:10 and 6-23 respectively. 


the mean 15 days about full moon = 6:91 


For the years 1844 and 1845, ee mean 15 days about new moon = 6°30. 


It may be a question still, how far error of estimating the extent of clouded sky in the presence and in the 
absence of the moon may enter into the production of this result. It is conceived that the effect of error in 
estimation must be nearly constant: in dark nights the extent of clouded sky was estimated by the space shew- — 
ing clear stars; and it is not improbable that the extent of cloud might be rather over than under estimated 
during the absence of moon-light; an error which could only have diminished the distinctness of the result — 
obtained. Before we refer the result to the heating effect of the moon, there are other co-ordinate facts to be _ 
considered with reference to the motion of the atmosphere. (See No. 200.) We may inquire, however, how 
far it agrees with the heating effect of the sun, thus ;—the extent of clouded sky appears greatest in summer, 
and least in winter, it appears greatest near noon, and least near midnight; apparently, therefore, the heating — 
effect is to increase the amount of cloud, and, by analogy, we should have the greatest amount of cloud about! j 
Full moon.* 


* Since the previous investigation was performed, I have met with a passage in Sir JOHN HERSCHEL’s very excellent “ Outlines 
“ of Astronomy,” page 261, in which he supposes that the lunar heat is extinguished in the upper regions of the atmosphere ; and adds, 4 
“« Some probability is given to this by the tendency to disappearance of clouds under the full moon, a meteorological fact (for as such 
“« we think it fully entitled to rank) for which it is necessary to seek a cause, and for which no other rational explanation seems to 
“ offer.” He adds as a note to the parenthesis,—* From my own observation, made quite independently of any knowledge of such 
“ tendency having been observed by others. Humboldt, however, in his personal narrative, speaks of it as well known to the pilots — 
“and seamen of Spanish America (H).” 

Sir JOHN’s observations were probably purely qualitative not quantitative. I have much difficulty in making any objection to 
the conclusions of so accurate an observer, at the same time if his observations were not of comparative measurement, I must point 
to the previous conclusions from two years’ estimations, and add my own qualitative observation for a considerable period, that the — 
clouds are both formed and dissipated under the influence of full moon, and that they are chiefly cirro-cumuli, or of that kind which ~ 
I have termed cirro-cumulo-stratus (See No. 217), noticed frequently during the existence of the aurora borealis as the growing oe 
dissipating cloud. Whether the resultant is an excess or defect of cloud during full moon, as compared with other periods, I have 
no impression, and think it extremely difficult to have any. Sir JouN refers, in an addendum, page xv. of his “ Outlines,” to what y 
he conceives a fact confirmatory of his conclusion, thus :—“‘ M. ARaAGo has shown, from a comparison of rain registered, as having 
“ fallen during a long period, that a slight preponderance in respect of quantity falls near new moon over that which falls near the 
“ full. This would be a natural and necessary consequence of the preponderance of cloudless sky about the full, and forms, therefore, 
“ part and parcel of the same meteorological fact.” It will be seen, No. 235, that this result has also been obtained from the ~ 
Makerstoun Observations, but it may still be a question whether it is confirmatory of Sir JoHN’s conclusion. When we compare the 
annual extent of sky clouded with the annual fall of rain, we do not find any direct connection: I do not know whether the diurna

228. Variation of the Extent of Clouded Sky with reference to the Moon’s Position in Declination —The 
discussion has been performed for this argument also, and the resulting means are given Table XXXIX., 
p- 66 ; and for groups of days, in Table 99. The two years do not agree well. If the cloud depends upon the 
heating influence of the moon we should expect the greatest value for the most northerly position of the moon ; 
the result, however, would only indicate the excess due to the higher positions of full moon over the lower 
positions, and as the latter occur in summer, the epoch of maximum cloud, the result becomes complicated with 
other causes of variation. From the mean of both years the numbers indicate an equal extent of sky clouded 
for the 14 days.about the moon’s farthest northerly, and for the 14 days about its farthest southerly positions. 
When four periods, of seven days each, are considered, the extent of sky clouded is on the whole 0-20 less for 
the mean of the groups for which the moon is near the equator than for either the northerly or southerly 


groups.

229. Diurnal Variation of the Extent of Clouded Sky,—The variations in Table 100 have been obtained 
from the detailed tables for each year in the manner already described for the other meteorological variations. 
The following are the epochs of the maxima and minima, and mean extent of clouded sky for each quarter and 
for the year :— 


Maximum. Mean. Minimum. Mean. 
Winter, Nov., Dec., Jan., 95 a.m.—3" p.m. 65 35™ a.m. 10h p.m. 55 25™ p.m. 
Spring, Feb., March, April, 9° a.m—3"? p.m. 62 10™ a.m. 105 p.m. 64 10™ p.m. 
Summer, May, June, July, Qh a.m. 55 40™ a.m. 12pm. 45 35™ pm. 
Autumn, Aug., Sept., Oct., 1" p.m. 35 55™ a.m. 82pm. 65 15™ p.m. 
Year, 11515m™am. 55 35m a.m. 105 15m p.m. 55 35™ p.m. 


Taw of the amount of rain agrees with that of the extent of clouded sky. There is no doubt, however, that the way in which cloud 
is generated by the solar heat must be different from that in which it is generated by the lunar heat, the former is due chiefly to 
heating at the base of the atmosphere, the latter to heating in the upper region; in any case, however, it does not seem evident, from 
the above considerations, that the lunar heat should generate more cloud than it dissipates. 

I may remark, in addition to the above, that the relation of the amount of rain to the amount of cloud must be chiefly a relation 
to certain kinds of cloud; those formed and dissipated in moonshine are not rain-clouds at all. May it not be for this reason, the 
‘conversion of a certain portion of aqueous vapour into clouds which are not rain-clouds that the least rain falls at full moon, while at 
Tew moon the same aqueous vapour is probably deposited below as rain-cloud? The cirri, the highest of all clouds, are, I am per- 
suaded, clouds of crystallization ; are they the least frequent in moonlight? does the moon heat not tend to dissipate them, and to 
convert them into watery cirro-cumulo-stratus ? 

____ Iam strongly of opinion that the effect of the lunar influences in the upper regions of our atmosphere is of much greater im- 
portance than might seem at all probable: previous investigations have shown that the laws of magnetic disturbance vary more with 
| the positions and age of the moon than with any other argument, and this is especially obvious when we regard the diurnal oscilla- 
tions. It has also been shewn from the Makerstoun Observations for 8 years, that the frequency of the aurora borealis is greatest 
near full moon. Scattered throughout the Makerstoun Observations, there will be found frequent reference to remarkable opera- 
| tions occurring in the upper regions of the air near full moon, chiefly among the cirrus, cirro-cumulus, and cirro-cumulo-stratus ; 

this frequency, it is believed, is not wholly due to the better opportunity of observing these processes by moonlight, although that 
, may be partially the case. 

T have used throughout the term “ extent of clouded sky,” because although there is a considerable probability that during a 
large series of observations the extent of sky clouded will be a measure of the amount of cloud, yet this is not absolutely certain.

eviil GENERAL RESULTS OF THE MAKERSTOUN OBSERVATIONS. 


~The maximum extent of clouded sky occurs earliest in summer, at 9* 4.m., and latest in autumn, about 1" p.m.; 
in the other two quarters, however, the value from 9* a.m. till 3h px. is nearly constant: the minimum occurs 
earliest in autumn, about 8" p.m., and latest in summer, near midnight. In the mean for the year the maxi- 
mum occurs near 11? a.m. and the minimum near 10" p.m. The morning mean value occurs earliest in autumn 
and latest in winter: the afternoon mean value occurs latest in autumn and earliest in summer. 


230. The ranges of the Diurnal Variations of the Extent of Clouded Sky are as follow :— 
Winter=1:51, Spring = 1-38, Summer=1-05, Autumn=1-59. Year=1-27. 


The diurnal range is therefore least in summer and greatest in autumn and winter.

231. The quantities in Table 101, from July 1842 till December 1849, were obtained from the Observa- : 
tory gauge, which has its fonnel-mouth 8 inches above the soil; the quantities from January 1832 till Jo f 
1842 are the amounts of rain found in the garden gauge (64 feet ‘above the soil), multiplied by factors, constant — 
for each month, which express the ratios of the amounts of rain found in the Observatory gauge to those found — 
in the garden gauge during 6 years; these ratios are as follow :— 


Jan. Feb. March. April. May. June. July. Aug. Sept. Oct. Nov. Dec.

The amounts of rain, therefore, in Table 101 were either obtained directly from the Observatory gauge, or they 
are such as would have been obtained in that gauge. 

232. The mean yearly amount of rain at Makerstoun by the Observatory gauge from 18 years’ obseraly 
vations =26-°350 inches. 

233. The least amount of rain for any of the 18 years was obtained in 1842, when it was 21-688 inches; — 
the amounts for 1835 and 1844 were little more. The greatest amount of rain occurred in 1846, being 37-804 
inches. The least monthly fall of rain occurred January 1835, being only 0:04 inch. The greatest monthly 
fall of rain occurred July 1846, being =7-124 inches. 3

rather less than half that for the former. The amounts of rain for the months of June, July, August, Septem- 
ber, and October, differ little, the average daily fall for these 5 months being 00894 inch. The daily means for 
the quarterly groups with the greatest range of values are as follow :— 


in. in. 
Winter, Nov., Dec., Jan., =0:0673 Summer, June, July, Aug., = 0:0788 
Spring, March, April, May, =0-0519 Autumn, Sept., Oct., Nov., = 0:0902 
in. 
Year, = 007/22 


235. Amount of Rain with reference to the Moon’s Age.—This discussion was given in the volume for 
1844, p. 447. The result, as obtained from 6 years’ observations of the Observatory gauge, may be stated 
shortly thus :— 


The average daily fall of rain during the second and third quarters = 0-0654 inch. 
Sc pian nto oe ae MRS ne lores ie Ariens shave fourth and first ......... =0°0750 inch. 


So that a greater amount of rain fell about new than about full moon. (See Foot-note to No. 227.)

REPORT, &. 


To GENERAL Sir T. MAKDOUGALL BRISBANE, Barr., 


PRES. ROY. SOC. EDIN. 


Sir,—I have several times brought under your notice the state of the Maker- 
stoun Observatory, and of the Observations made in it, but generally with refer- 
ence to some special object connected with the prosecution of the work itself; it 
seems desirable now, when the Observations have been reduced and printed, that 
I should report to you in a more complete way, in order to embody in the report 
some notice of the imperfections of the instruments and processes usually em- 
ployed, and some suggestions for their improvement, the results of my experience 
in the management of your Observatory. 


Hisiory.—The proposal made by Humpoxpr for obtaining an extensive 
series of corresponding observations in terrestrial magnetism, and generally in 
the physics of the globe, was readily prosecuted in different countries, but espe- 
cially in the Russian and in the British Empires. In the latter, many observa- 
tories were founded,—by the British Government in the Colonies, and by the East 
India Company in the large territory under its sway. At home, our Government 
also founded an Observatory at Greenwich, under the powerful direction of the 
Astronomer Royal; in Dublin, another observatory was established at the ex- 
pense of Trinity College, which was placed under the skilful hands of Dr Ltoyp,— 
an observatory which was the Normal School for the Directors of the Colonial Ob- 
servatories. Scotland alone, of the three kingdoms, seemed destined to remain 
without any share in this great scientific undertaking ; a matter of double regret 
to the lovers of science in it, since an observatory in this country was even of 
more importance to the enterprise than in the more southern localities. What the 
British Government performed at Greenwich, and the rich institution of Trinity 
College did at Dublin, was undertaken by yourself in Roxburghshire. 

The building of the observatory at your seat at Makerstoun was commenced 
early in 1841, but no observations were made till July of that year. The system 
adopted was limited, in the first instance, to a few daily observations, together 
with a participation in the complete series on Yerm-days. The observer, Mr 
RussEu1, had also the charge of a transit instrument and of several clocks. In 


2 REPORT ON THE COMPLETION OF 


April 1842, Mr Russeni having resigned, the observatory was placed under my 
direction, the same system of observation being continued. In the end of that 
year I suggested the propriety of increasing the number of daily observations, an 
increase which would require the services of another observer ; this suggestion, 
which was seconded by the opinion of Professor J. D. Forses, was at once ap- 
proved by you, and Mr Joun WELs#, a talented student in arts of the Edinburgh 
University, was, at my recommendation, appointed by you as my assistant. The 
series of observations obtained in 1843 was necessarily still incomplete, no obser- 
vations were made after 9" p.m. nor before 5» a.M., excepting on term-days and 
during magnetic disturbances: it was evident, therefore, that determinations of 
the diurnal laws would still be desiderata; while it was equally evident that a com- 
plete diurnal series would at once satisfy these wants, and render the previous in- 
complete series of greater value. I then suggested the addition of another ob- 
server to the establishment, pointing out, however, the most economical way in 
which this addition could be made, and especially the fact that it would render 
unnecessary the extra assistants required on term-days. These suggestions were 
made throughout with the full knowledge that they were in accordance with your 
object and wishes. I have merely to state the readiness with which you adopted 
this suggestion and every other tending to the advancement of the work of the 
observatory. Mr ALEXANDER Hoaa, an ingenious mechanic, who had been engaged 
in the construction of the observatory (which was performed chiefly under his 
superintendence), and who had been engaged under Mr RussE xt, at the first, and 
under myself afterwards, as an observer on the term-days, was recommended by 
me, as not only fitted for an observing assistant, but also as likely to be of much 
use in matters of handicraft connected with the observatory and its instruments ; 
he was accordingly appointed in the end of 1843. In 1844 and 1845 a series of 
observations of all the magnetical and meteorological instruments was made 
hourly, excepting on Sundays.* It was originally proposed that this hourly series 
should extend through only two years ; in 1846, therefore, the same system was 
adopted as in 1843. With the year 1846 terminated the period contemplated for 
the extended work of your observatory, and the period contemplated by the 
Royal Society of Edinburgh in adopting the large volumes of observations as por- 
tion of their Transactions. A more limited series was made in the following years, 
1847, 1848, and 1849. 


* IT may remark here that the omission of observations on Sundays, even of the great and un- 
usual magnetic perturbations, which has excited the astonishment of our German co-labourers, and 
especially of the Baron Von Humsorpz, like the omission of many other works on the same day, 
has never been felt as any loss. The amount of simultaneous disturbance observations in existence, 
made on the six week-days, is greater than we are likely to make any use of. It had not occurred, 
perhaps, to our continental friends that there was any difficulty in determining the kind of scientific 
work which would not be a “ sin upon an English Sunday,” as their own limit, if they have any, is 
not of a very stringent character. 


THE MAKERSTOUN OBSERVATIONS. 3 


The first part of the Makerstoun Observations was published in June 1845, 
and the last part appeared in June of the present year: the last part contains the 
detailed tables of results for the years 1845 and 1846, together with the general 
results of all the observations, including the monthly means of observations made 
in 1847, 1848, and 1849. The Makerstoun Observations have appeared as a por- 
tion of the Transactions of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, that body having 
liberally granted £600 towards the expense of printing; a grant for one object 
which, I am satisfied, will bear comparison with the grants of much richer 
societies. 

I shall now notice some of the more salient matters in connection with the 
Observatory itself and its instruments. 


The Observatory.—The geographical co-ordinates are— 


Latitude, 55° 34’ 45” N. 
Longitude, 0° 10" 3°5 W. of Greenwich. 
Height of the barometer cistern above mean water at Berwick, 213 feet. 


The observatory is constructed of wood, like that at Greenwich ; its architec- 
tural character is not of the highest order; it is placed on a small rising ground 
which is probably formed of felspathic trap, covered with rolled boulders, pebbles, 
and gravel. The internal division of the building, and the number, size, and 
positions of the windows are ill adapted for the purposes of the observatory. 
The plan and elevation were due to an assistant in the Dublin Observatory. Care 
was taken to exclude iron completely from the structure, copper nails having been 
used throughout: the telescopes and instruments were placed upon excellent 
white sandstone pillars, well-founded, and unconnected with the floor. The care 
taken in this matter is the most deserving of praise in connection with the con- 
struction of the observatory, and that care was chiefly or altogether your own. 
It should not be forgotten that the knowledge of the best arrangement for such a 
building was very small at the time it was planned, if it is considerable now. 

The range of temperature within the observatory was much too great, owing 
to the thinness of the walls, and the number and largeness of the windows. ‘The 
building was at first heated by copper stoves which soon became oxidated, and 
produced suffocating fumes of most hurtful character. It was altogether im- 
possible to approximate to anything like uniformity of temperature in a house 
so easily affected by external variations. The stove was discontinued in 1848. 
and a small brick building erected at a distance for a computing room in winter. 
I proposed, in 1843, to heat the observatory with hot water pipes, but the difficul- 
ties connected with this process were too considerable to render the experiment 
desirable. It was found possible in 1845, to erect a fire-place with a tubular 
brick chimney in one of the ante-rooms, which, though wholly useless for heating 


+ REPORT ON THE COMPLETION OF 


the observatory, served to render the small room in which it was placed suffi- 
ciently comfortable for a computing-room. 


The Instruments.—The declination and bifilar magnetometers were made by 
Mr Gruss of Dublin. The magnets during 1841 and 1842 were enclosed by 
loosely fitting cylinders, resting upon the pillar tops, covered by glazed lids; but 
the junctions were neither pressed together by any contrivance, nor was there 
any moderate precaution taken to prevent currents of air from circulating in the 
boxes. In 1843 and 1844, these and various other defects were removed: the 
joints were lined with velvet and pressed firmly together; rectangular boxes 
were placed within the drums; both cylindrical and rectangular boxes were gilt 
outside and inside; and the whole apparatuses were covered by thick cotton 
hoods. The gilding prevented the effects of radiation in producing currents 
within the boxes; the other precautions prevented the entrance of external cur- 
rents, and secured to a considerable extent a uniform temperature and dryness. 

The suspension threads for the declination magnet broke at short intervals 
in 1841 and 1842; they were succeeded in June 1843 by a thread carefully pre- 
pared, which is still in use, and apparently as good as ever. In case, however, 
the suspension thread should have received any torsion, the magnet was removed 
occasionally, a brass bar was suspended, and the torsion was rendered zero for the 
magnetic meridian before replacing the magnet; when little torsion was found 
existing the trials were made seldomer, as the mere manipulation was apt to in- 
troduce torsion of itself. 

Errors due to twist in the suspension wires of the bifilar magnet, were 
eliminated by the process employed to determine the unit-coefficient. The 
interval of the wires was adjusted according to the instructions by the Committee 
of the Royal Society ; but this rendered the instrument too sensitive, and, during 
moderate disturbances, the scale went out of the field of the telescope. This was 
attempted to be remedied at the time by turning the torsion circle till the scale 
reappeared, generally a difficult and unsatisfactory operation; in 1846. however, 
I employed a small magnet for the purpose, this being placed at known distances 
where its effect upon the bifilar magnet was determined. 

Even for the ordinary diurnal movements, however, the instrument was too 
sensitive; the reading of the magnet scale was estimated to one-tenth of a division, 
and of the thermometer to one-tenth of a degree, but a variation of one-tenth of a 
degree in the temperature of the magnet is equivalent to two-tenths of a scale divi- 
sion in its motion. The thermometer was placed with its bulb resting on a brass 
bar, so that it might show as nearly as possible the temperature of the magnet. 

The balance magnetometer was made by the late Mr Rosinson of London; 
the box was gilt inside and outside, and covered with cloth as in the case of the 
other instruments. The magnet was never lifted from its support, excepting 


THE MAKERSTOUN OBSERVATIONS. 5 
during the adjustments; it was vibrated through small arcs only. Many of the 
apparent anomalies which I have observed in this instrument, and described in 
the Edinburgh Transactions, were probably due to the facts, that the needle rests 
upon knife edges, and that every care being taken in the management of the instru- 
ment, the consequences of such a mode of support were exhibited under the most 
favourable circumstances. 

I have referred to the imperfections of the inclinometer, in the introductions 
to the various volumes; one error [ believe to be due to the presence of iron in 
the copper circle or basement of the instrument. 

The barometer, a standard by Mr Newman, was fixed to the south wall of 
the west ante-room, not the best possible position in the observatory, as it was 
subjected to greater variations of temperature than it would have been if placed 
to the north. The thermometers were placed on a revolving frame in front of one 
of the north windows; but the case was removed to the west in the morning, and 
to the east in the evening, when the sun shone near to, or north of the prime 
vertical. The anemometer is sufficiently well-fitted for the determination of the 
laws of variation, but there is considerable uncertainty as to its value for giving 
absolute results, as there is with most of the anemometers yet in use. From 
various causes, the working of the aneémometer became less trustworthy in 1848 


and 1849. 


Times of Observation.—The ordinary observations were made at certain pre- 
viously arranged hours and minutes of Gottingen mean time. When the observer, 
_ from any cause, was too late for his observations, he was requested to note the 
exact minutes when the observations were made; this was done in all cases, and 
the true minutes will be found in connection with the printed observations. No 
check-clock was used, and none was necessary. Indeed, it is my opinion, where 
little confidence is placed in some portions of the labours of assistants, they will 
generally, in consequence, be found to deserve little trust in others; and this is 
especially true in the work of an observatory, requiring such a various fidelity 
and care. Besides the regular observations, large masses of observations were 
made during magnetic disturbances and other occasional phenomena. 


Reductions —Before the reductions of the magnetical observations could be 
completed, certain factors were requisite, representing the effect of one degree 
Fahrenheit on the positions of the bifilar and balance magnets, and the values 
of a given change of angular position in terms of some known or easily found 
unit. It is not necessary that I should do more than refer to the fact, that I 
have proved the insufficiency of the processes originally prescribed for the 
accurate determinations of those co-efficients and have substituted new ones, of the 
accuracy of which there can be no doubt, as they have been verified in every possible

way.* J mention this, chiefly to remark upon the time and labour bestowed on 
the investigations for these important objects. Could I have been satisfied with 
issuing the volumes of observations from the press uncorrected, as has been done 
in many cases, or have reduced them by the official methods, the volumes might 
have been published immediately after the observations were made, as all the 
ordinary portion of the reductions were performed, and were verified week by 
week. The whole value of such observations, for any present use, depends upon 
these reductions: erroneously corrected observations are as useless as if they 
were uncorrected; and to publish them in an uncorrected state would be 
simply to place the volumes on the shelf, with large masses of other like 
valuable works, till their proper reduction and discussion at the period vulgarly 
denominated the Greek Calends. It is conceived, therefore, that the great 
amount of labour was well spent, which was necessary, jist, in attempting 
to obtain satisfactory results from the old processes; second, in gradually develop- 
ing and perfecting the new ones; and, third, in rendering the factors deduced as 
accurate as possible, by getting rid of those errors which are unavoidable in the 
employment of new methods. It is conceived also, though this well-bestowed 
labour were forgotten, and by far the greater part of it has never shown itself in 
print, that the speed with which the volumes have appeared, will do no discredit 
to your observatory, nor to its director with one complete and one partial com- 
puting assistant. 


Printing.— Considerable time was bestowed in arranging the observations 
into the best forms for printing; many condensations and improvements were 
gradually adopted till, it is believed, that the volumes for 1844, 1845, and 1846 have 
been printed in the most distinct and condensed way to be unabbreviated ; it 
would have been a great saving of time to have had them printed in twice the 
bulk. The proofs were carefully revised by my assistants and myself; almost 
every sheet passed through my own hands before sending to press. 


Division of Labour.—The general management of the observatory, with the 
correspondence and all other matters relating thereto, devolved upon myself. I 
took a regular share of the work of observing night and day, especially in the 
years 1843, 1844, and 1845, and, with Mr Wetsu, performed the principal portion 
of the work of computing, and of the more difficult class of absolute observations. 
I also made, with Mr Wetsu, the astronomical observations of transits, &c., 
and performed other occasional work required by yourself. 


* The imperfect system of determining the temperature coefficients by removing the magnet 
from its place in the instrument to water baths, has been retained in opposition to anything like 
scientific caution, after its insufficiency has been demonstrated in the case of instruments by the best 
makers, treated aie at least an average care. 


- 


THE MAKERSTOUN OBSERVATIONS. ( 


Mr Wetsu shared in all the work of observing and computing. A large 
mass of observations of the new planets were made with your large equatorial, 
chiefly by Mr WeEtsu, at extra-official hours; these observations have been pub- 
blished by the Royal Astronomical Society. 

Mr Hoge shared in the regular and disturbance observations, assisted in the 
computations, and performed all the mechanical work connected with the obser- 
vatory and its instruments. 

_ LT have already noticed, in different Introductions to the Makerstoun Observa- 
tions, the diligence and care of my assistants. I shall here repeat my obligations 
to Mr Wexsu, who was trained from the commencement under my own eye. His 
acquaintance with the mathematical details of his work, his skill as an observer, 
his fidelity in all he performed, and his appreciation of the practical difficulties 
occurring, have been of the greatest importance to me. He was made conversant 
with all my own views upon the theoretical and practical questions which so often 
developed themselves, and, in return, I frequently derived considerable benefit 
- from his opinions. 

To Mr Hoag, also, I can award my testimony as to the honesty and diligence 
with which he has fulfilled the duties for which he was at first engaged. To his 
invention and handicraft most of the mechanical contrivances, in wood and 
brass, about the observatory are indebted. 


Suggestions.—1 shall now offer a few suggestions, the results of my expe- 
rience, on the subject of magnetical and meteorological observatories, especially 
in such climates as our own. 


Situation.—I need scarcely say that it is of importance, especially for abso- 
lute magnetical determinations, that the position chosen for the observatory should 
not be over highly ferruginous rocks, even though observations can be made in 
the neighbourhood to determine any local error. But there is a point connected 
with the placing of magnetical and meteorological observatories which it seems 
to me is of very great importance, a point which has been apparently overlooked 
to a very great extent ; I mean the influences due to the proximity of large 
cities. These influences, I fear, are much greater than may be suspected, 
and that not only on the absolute values, but likewise on the variations, 
whether magnetical or meteorological. Suppose an observatory placed on one 
side of a large city, which contains immense masses of iron, huge piles of stones, 
and thousands of human beings; this combined mass has a temperature several 
degrees higher than that of the air at a distance; it is a generator of electrical, 
thermal, and aérial currents: have these no effects upon the magnetical and 
meteorological states of the neighbouring district ? The probabilities appear all 
in favour of an answer in the affirmative, and, at least, till the negative can be

proved, it is evidently contrary to all sound investigation to incur the risk of ills 
we know not of. 1 feel inclined to attribute some curious discrepancies betwixt 
the results obtained in town and country observatories to some such causes. 

The building to contain the variation instruments and computing room, 
should be made of stone if possible, even though it should contain some small 
quantity of iron. It is of the greatest importance that the temperature within 
the instrument room should be nearly uniform; for this end, stones or logs of 
wood are essential ; I do not believe that any small quantity of iron which ana- 
lysis might detect would affect the variation results. In the construction of the 
observatory, however, an important matter has always been lost sight of: it is 
nearly impossible that the temperature in our climate can be very uniform 
without a complete exclusion of the external atmosphere. Such an exclusion has 
been attempted by sealing up the observatory, and by burying it under ground; 
methods which might have served for the instruments, but which would in a short 
period have served for the observers too. It appears essential, then, that the in- 
struments should be placed in a different room from the observer: this room 
should be wholly within the observatory, with passages or rooms around it, 
separating it on all sides from the outer wall: the telescopes could be placed in 
the wall of this room, the eyepieces being outside; a single glazed aperture with 
alamp and proper arrangement of mirrors would serve to illuminate all the 
scales. There should be no windows, and only one (double) door into the room 
which could be well closed, and would require to be opened only at considerable 
intervals. The roof of the observatory should slope only to the north, so that the 
sun could not beat on it, or some arrangement should be made by a double roof, 
to prevent the heating there from affecting the internal temperature. 

By such arrangements, the diurnal variation of temperature would be 
scarcely appreciable within the magnetometer boxes. It would be necessary, in 
order to determine the temperature co-efficients, either that this room could be 
opened for some time to the variations of the external temperature, or that it 
should be possible to heat it artificially: this might be done by a stove, or by 
pipes with hot water laid in the external room, which could be used as a com- 
puting room. The annual variation of temperature might be very much dimi- 
nished, and the dryness of the instruments be insured by this arrangement. It 
is to the effects of varying temperature and humidity, that the principal errors 
are due for the three variation magnetometers. 

Having suggested what I conceive to be the best position for the variation 
magnetometers, I would remark, shortly, with reference to the dry and wet bulb 
thermometers, that they ought not to be placed in a recess to the north; a posi- 
tion which, although sufficiently shaded from the sun, is, however, in general 
wholly abnormal ; it is generally damp, and if the house be of stone, of a consider- 


THE MAKERSTOUN OBSERVATIONS. 9 


ably lower temperature than in the shade elsewhere.* The thermometer case 
should, I think, be placed to the north of the building, not in a recess, but sheltered 
from the sun’s rays in the morning and evening by large double boards placd at a 
moderate distance, and permitting a free circulation of the air: the case itself 
should be similar to that employed at Makerstoun, or of a lighter construc- 
tion, which can be turned round from within the observatory, so as to allow the ob- 
servations to be made from one of the windows, the glass of which prevents the ef- 
fects of radiation from the body of the observer, or from the lamp during night. 


The Declinometer.—This instrument, which is of the simplest possible con- 
struction, requires no correction for the effects of temperature; it has generally, 
therefore, been the instrument in observatories, the only one from which laws 
of variation might be expected with little trouble, yet the observations have 
in general been overrun with errors. The errors of the instrument are due 
chiefly or altogether to the suspension of the magnet. 

The French Academy of Sciences thought the mode of suspension of the de- 
clination-magnet of so much importance, that they offered it as the subject of a 
prize in the year 1777 ; previously the needle was balanced upon a pivot as in 
our common mariner’s compass. The prize was carried by CouLoms, who pro- 
posed suspension by means of a thread formed of the silk fibres from the 
cocoon. This suspension was adopted immediately after by M. Dominic Cassin1; 
the old cap and pivot suspension was used, however, for some time afterwards, 
as by Girin, early in the present century. Cassinr seems to have soon become 
aware of the effects of humidity, and of separation of the fibres, in introducing 
torsion into the thread; for he prepared his threads by first gumming the fibres 
together, and then greasing the thread. It is obvious, however, that, after all, 


* As I will not again allude to the meteorological instruments, I may mention here my doubts 
as to the accuracy of the theory of the wet bulb, even as a measurer of the humidity of the locality 
in which it is placed ; and my perfect belief that the determinations of the vapour pressure in the 
atmosphere, obtained by means of the dry and wet bulbs, are wholly in error. I have indicated this 
opinion in different volumes of the Makerstoun Observations, where I have also shewn that the ap- 
parent success of an attempt made by M. Dove, and lately by Colonel Saxine, to resolve the diurnal 
variation of the total pressure of the atmosphere into two simple variations, is in all probability due 
to the large but erroneous diurnal variation of aqueous vapour pressure obtained in the mean for the 
year; which, when subducted from the smaller double variation of the total pressure, leaves traces 
only of its own abstraction. I have shewn that this is the more certainly true, since, when we con- 
sider winter only, the variation of the aqueous vapour pressure, as computed, being then very small, the 
pressure of the dry ar then exhibits a well marked double diurnal variation as before. I do not 
enter in this Report into the Results of the Makerstoun Observations. I do not mention the pre- 
vious fact to shew that the pressure of aqueous vapour is not involved in the diurnal variation ob- 
tained from the barometer, but as some evidence that the pressures deduced from the dry and wet 
bulbs are not to be trusted. I have proposed and attempted some experiments for the purpose of 
obtaining the actual value of the vapour pressure in the atmosphere, by destroying the moisture in 
a closed apparatus, but have not yet succeeded, owing to imperfections in the instrument. 

I am glad to learn, since the above was written, that Colonel Syxzs has also, in a paper read 
before the Royal Society of London last session, objected to the results from the psychrometer.

10 REPORT ON THE COMPLETION OF 


the threads thus constructed must have performed very indifferently ; for his obser- 
vations, which were made at the same time in the Paris Observatory, and in the 
caves below, shew differences and variations in the monthly means which are not 
explicable by anything within our later, and, as we may suppose, more accurate 
experience. Since Cassrni’s time, the improvement of the suspension-thread 
seems to have made very little progress. M. Kuprrer, apparently despairing 
of satisfactory results from a silk suspension, substituted silver wires in the 
Russian declinometers; a similar suspension has also been employed by M. 
QuUETELET at Brussels. This seems to me a step towards the cap and pivot sus- 
pension. Indeed, M. Nervanper of Helsingfors has found that such suspension 
cannot be trusted, since the wires are so affected by temperature that, when an 
unmagnetic bar is suspended, it has a considerable diurnal motion: a fact which 
I had suspected, and had pointed out as a probable source of error in determining 
the temperature coefficient for the bifilar magnet. 

The suspension-thread acts in the following manner :—As the thread is com- 
posed of a series of fibres more or less twisted, the plane of detorsion, that is, the 
vertical plane in which an unmagnetic bar will rest when suspended, is deter- 
mined by the composition of series of opposing forces: if the torsion of the indi- 
vidual fibres be at all considerable, very small motions of the magnet will cause 
them to occupy slightly different positions inter se, or moderate changes of humi- 
dity acting to a greater extent upon the external than the internal fibres, and 
upon some of the external fibres than upon others, will change the plane of 
equilibrium, and in this way force the magnet from its true position. Changes of 
the plane of detorsion caused in this way, and by the occasional breaking of 
fibres, will explain the great discrepancies occurring in large series of observations, 
and the consequent lessening of their value. The importance also of obtaining 
properly-constructed suspension-threads will be at once evident, when it is remem- 
bered, that unless such are obtained, the labour of years may be rendered of little 
or no value. The conditions sought to be obtained in the construction of the thread 
for the Makerstoun declinometer, were the following :—Fvst, The absence of all 
torsion from the fibre. The so-called wntiwisted compound fibre from the cocoon, 
usually employed in observatories, receives a considerable twist in the operations 
of drawing from the cocoon and reeling, as may easily be perceived by passing it 
between the thumb-nail and index, the method which I employed to remove the 
twist. Second, That each fibre when combined into the thread, shall bear an equal 
portion of the weight. For this end the fibre was not cut into pieces, but a sufficient _ 
length being obtained, free of flaws, it was wound round two smooth pins, placed 
at the required distance, so that no twist should be introduced in the act of winding; 
when a sufficient thickness was obtained, and the ends were tied, a hook attached 
to a weight was inserted in place of the lower pin; the thread being formed of one 
continuous fibre was thus free to move round the upper pin and the weight-hook 


THE MAKERSTOUN OBSERVATIONS. 11 


till each length of fibre bore nearly an equal strain. TJhird, That the thread 
should be as small as is consistent with durability. The number of fibres for 
a particular weight should be determined by experiment; sixteen fibres of the 
silk supplied to the Makerstoun Observatory, and bearing nearly a pound weight, 
were found insufficient several times, though that number was recommended in 
the Report of the Royal Society; this was probably due to some difference in the 
thread : a thread of 22 fibres has now performed well for seven years. 

I should notice that M. NerRvANDER has proposed to form the suspension 
thread, by moistening with hot water the fibre cut into lengths, and submitting 
each length in this state to a considerable tension, before combining them to form 
the thread. 


The Bijilar Magnetometer.—The chief source of error for this instrument is 
also to be found in its suspension; wires of silver or of gold have generally been 
adopted ; although threads like those for the declinometer have also been employed, 
as at Greenwich. I object to the use of skeins, not merely because the errors 
due to a silk suspension are probably greater than those due to wires, but chiefly 
because no correction can be applied for the errors due to the former, while those 
due to the latter can be wholly eliminated. One error common to every kind of 
suspension is due to the stretching of the thread or wires, which gives a false 
value of the secular change; it is curious that no attempt has been made to 
eliminate this error, which could easily be done by means of a small apparatus 
for measuring the distance between the suspended magnet and the base plate of 
instrument. Any twist in the wires will give a false value of the unit coefficient, 
if determined in the usual way by the torsion circle; I am afraid that there is an 
equal chance of a similar error with silk threads, besides the probable variation 
due to breaking of fibres, &c. The error arising from twist, however, does not 
appear, when the process, which I have proposed and used, of determining the 
unit coefficient by deflections is adopted. The error which is peculiar to the wire 
suspension is that already noticed of a variation due to temperature ; this error, 
however, also disappears when the temperature coefficient is determined by my 
process, since then, the total effect of temperature upon the position of the magnet 
is at once obtained. There remains against the silk suspension the heavy and in- 
determinable errors due to humidity, and to the gradual breaking of fibres. 

By the use of metallic wires and an apparatus to determine the amount which 
they stretch, nothing is required to render this instrument as perfect as possible 
but a magnet with permanent magnetism, the proper processes being employed 
for the determinations of the unit and temperature coefficients. 


The Balance Magnetometer.—\ conceive that with proper care this apparatus 
may give considerably better results than have ever yet been obtained from it. 


12 REPORT ON THE COMPLETION OF 


The points of principal consequence are, well made hardened knife edges, and a 
magnet that will not lose magnetism. The temperature coefficients of well hard- 
ened thin bars, especially of those supplied by Rogrnson, have been very small ; 
and it would not be difficult for the maker, by a few experiments, to diminish or 
destroy the effect of temperature altogether in the manner suggested afterwards. 
The only subject then remaining for the maker's skill would be the formation ofa 
powerful and permanent magnet with a hard well-made knife-edge. I have 
already shown in other places, than no dependence can be placed on the coeffi- 
cients involving the time of vibration of this needle. 


Mechanical Temperature Compensation.—The difficulties connected with the 
diminution of the temperature coefficients of magnets, for the purposes of the 
bifilar and balance magnetometers, may be, to a great extent, avoided by mecha- 
nical compensations. Such compensations, by a little experimentation and previous 
calculation, may be sufficiently complete for most self-registering apparatuses, to 
render considerations of the varying temperature negligible : even for the more de- 
licate apparatuses, however, any incompleteness of the temperature compensation 
may be determined by the process which I have employed. The following me- 
thod of compensation may be adopted for the bifilar magnet :—Let the upper ex- 
tremities of the suspension wires be attached to the ends of two brass rods, which 
approach each other within an interval equal to the diameter of the lower wheel, 
and let the other ends of the brass rods be jized to a beam of wood, so that an 
increase of temperature will cause the free ends of the rods to approach each 
other, by an amount equal to the difference of their expansion and that of the 
wooden beam to which they are fixed. Such an approximation will diminish the 
directive force of the wires, and by a proper regulation will compensate for the 
diminution of the magnet’s moment. Ifthe suspended wires are silver, and the 
lower wheel is of brass, the coefficient (e) of contraction of the space betwixt the 
suspension wires at the top will be found from the equation of equilibrium to be 

e=9q 

where g is the temperature coefficient. Thus, in the case of the Makerstoun 
bifilar g=0°000266, the interval of the wires is nearly 0-5 inch, and, therefore, the 
brass rods would require each to be about 74 inches long, in order that the in- 
terval be diminished 0°000266 of itself, or 0°000133 inch; the difference of the co- 
efficients of expansion of brass and wood being assumed =0:0000085. Mag- 
nets with a temperature co-efficient of 0°0001 would require brass suspension 
rods of3 inches in length, or less in proportion as the interval of the wires is less 
than 0°5 inch. 

For the balance magnet; let a brass rod be fixed to the magnet near its south 
end, but free to expand towards the north, and having as much to the north of 
the axle as to the south; it is obvious that when the temperature increases the 


THE MAKERSTOUN OBSERVATIONS. 13 


expansion of the brass rod towards the north, if properly regulated, may be made 
to depress the north end of the needle as much as the diminution of the mag- 
netic moment would tend to elevate it. The expression for the proper weight and 
length of such a brass rod is more complicated than in the case of the bifilar, 
depending on the weight of the needle, and the distance of its centre of gravity 
from the centre of motion. In the case of the Makerstoun balance, for which 
g=0-00008, I have computed that a brass rod 10 inches long, sc the weight of 
the needle, fixed so that its centre of gravity should be near the centre of 
motion of the needle, would by its expansion compensate nearly for the diminu- 
tion of the magnetic moment. 

In both cases such computations could only be considered as rough guides 
to the instrument-maker who, by a few experiments at different temperatures, 
might be able to attain a more accurate compensation. 


Magnets.—My experience of smal] magnets is not very great, but I feel in- 
clined to prefer thin parallelopipedal magnets of a length of about six inches for 
variation instruments in a fixed observatory, to either the large or smaller 
sizes. If building them of thin bars would diminish the temperature cocfficient, 
would the compound magnet be equally permanent? For variation instru- 
ments, mirrors and scales would be preferable to collimators for such small 
magnets. 

The whole subject of the best forms and kinds of magnets, the best for per- 
manency, intensity, and smallness of temperature co-efficient, requires a careful 
investigation. I am not aware whether any considerable use has been made of 
the labours of the Rev. Dr Scoressy, Mr Perri, and others, for the purposes of 
an observatory. 


Instruments for Absolute Determinations.—These instruments require to be 
placed at a distance from the others, and in a place wholly free from iron. 


The Inclinometer.This should have the needle placed apart from the reading 
circle, and as little metal should be employed as possible for the base: if the 
makers would take greater pains in obtaining metal without iron, such precautions 
would be less necessary. Such instruments as those made by M. Repsoxp of 
Hamburgh, with reading microscopes and short needles, seem best fitted for good 
observations. 

In order to determine the error of old instruments due to the iron in the 
circle or general structure, the following process might be employed with advan- 
tage: Connect the needle with a beam carrying a lens and scale, or a mirror, 
with the scale at a distance,—suspend this by a silk thread so that the axle of the 
needle may occupy its usual position in the circle, the latter with the whole 

D 


14 REPORT ON THE COMPLETION OF 


apparatus being placed horizontal and the agate planes being removed, adjust a 
telescope so as to read the scale, and turn the circle, &c., round, so that a given 
division shall occupy different azimuths; then from the variations of scale read- 
ing (the changes of declination being subducted), the effect of the circle, &c., 
upon the needle in different positions is determined; and from these the effect 
upon the needle, when the whole apparatus is vertical, may be easily obtained. 
This process will be found much more satisfactory then than that by vibrations. 
I would only farther suggest, that the process should be repeated, with the poles 
changed, and that the position of the needle should be obtained for the appara- 
tus away; since in some needles I have found that the intensity of saturation dif- 
fers with the end which is made north, and: that one end is sometimes much 
weaker than the other. 


The Horizontal Force-Measurer.—-For a fixed observatory, I feel inclined to 
prefer thin parallelopipedal magnets, perhaps about 8 inches long, with deflections 
of from 3° to 8° according to M. Gauss’s method, rather than the small magnets 
and large deflections by Dr Lamont’s. If, however, the 4-inch magnets are used I 
prefer a modification of Dr Lamont’s method which Dr Lioyp has empioyed, in 
which the deflecting bar is kept always at right angles, not to the suspended mag- 
net, but to the magnetic meridian. This subject requires considerable examina- 
tion; the discordant results obtained from different instruments, and from the same 
instrument with different magnets, are too considerable not to require explana- 
tion. The deflecting magnet should never be touched with the hand during ob- 
servations, but it should be lifted by a carriage or chair. The expansion of the 
distance beam should not be omitted in the computation of the absolute inten- 
sity ; where it is of brass the effect of this omission may be quite marked in com- 
paring observations during summer and during winter. I may touch upon the 
whole subject again in another way. 


Having noticed those points which have occurred to me as of principal im- 
portance, or as more or less new, I cannot conclude this report without adverting 
to the assistance which I have received from different gentlemen during my labours 
at Makerstoun. 

To yourself I have been especially indebted. The foundation and support 
of the observatory is a thing, of itself, which might be noticed as a matter 
for gratulation. It is rare for persons with much more extensive means to 
have done so much for science,— while they were themselves living and capable 
of otherwise employing their wealth—it is rare for them to have done so much 
even by their bequests. This reason for thanks I possess only in common with 
other lovers of science. It is for your personal kindness, the friendship with which 
you have honoured me, the suggestions and aids which I have derived from you 


THE MAKERSTOUN OBSERVATIONS. 15 


in every matter likely to advance the cause that you have had so much at heart, 
and which were likely to enable me to perform those duties devolving upon 
me with satisfaction and comfort to myself,—it is for these, and many similar 
kindnesses, that I have to offer you my most grateful and most hearty 
thanks. 

You have acknowledged, in the first part of the Makerstoun Observations, 
the assistance which you derived from the advice of Professor J. D. Forsrs.as to 
the formation and continuance of the Makerstoun Observatory, and I have to 
acknowledge my obligations to him in a more extensive way. As his pupil I am 
indebted to him for his valuable instructions, and especially for that love of strict 
science which he has sought with so much success to diffuse among his students 
in the University of our Scottish metropolis, whether by his prelections or by his 
example, through those original and laborious scientific investigations which he 
has prosecuted so successfully. In some of the latter of these I had the pleasure 
and good fortune to assist him, benefiting as I hope I did, by that cautious and 
careful spirit which distinguishes his researches. Besides many other kindnesses, 
I owe to his recommendation your selection of me for the care of your observa- 
tory: since then, I have been in constant communication with him, either as 
my friend and adviser, or in his capacity as secretary of the Royal Society of 
Edinburgh, in whose Transactions the work of your observatory has appeared. 

To the Rev. Dr H. Lioyn, the excellent President of the Royal Irish Aca- 
demy, I also owe my best acknowledgments. It was to him that the observatory 
owed its first scheme of observation, and much attention and examination of the 
earliest observations. I have also been indebted to him in frequent communica- 
tions, and, above all, to his published papers on the instruments and processes of 
observatory work, without the use of which my own progress, and that of most 
of the Directors of our Colonial Observatories, would have been difficult and 
painful labour. 

Mr Arry, the Astronomer Royal, I have before thanked for the instruction 
which I received in the Greenwich Observatory before undertaking the charge of 
yours; but I have also to thank him for the readiness and willingness with which 
he has invariably thrown open to me any matter connected with the observations 
at Greenwich, which I may have desired for comparison with our own. 

I have already noticed the valuable grant of the Royal Society of Edinburgh 
towards the printing of the volumes of Observations. I may also notice that 
copies of the volumes of Makerstoun Observations have been forwarded by the 
Royal Society to the institutions and individuals, given in the Addendum to this 
Report, in addition to those entitled to receive them as portions of the Edinburgh 
Transactions. 

Permit me to conclude by expressing my hope that these labours, to which 


16 REPORT ON THE COMPLETION OF THE MAKERSTOUN OBSERVATIONS, 


I have devoted my best energies, may ultimately be found to have added some- 
thing of importance to our knowledge of the wondrous works of that Infinite 
Being, the Creator of all things and the Redeemer of men. 


And I have the honour to be, 
SIR, 
Your very obedient, 
And very humble servant,
