Abstract
BEING obliged to proceed to South America at the beginning of this year, I took with me a thermometer and a hydrometer in order, if circumstances were favourable, to provide myself with occupation during the somewhat long and monotonous voyage. Thanks to the kindness and courtesy of Capt. Brown, of the s.s. Leibnitz, who took a lively interest, and assisted me greatly in carrying out my observations, the voyage was neither long nor tedious.
