Abstract
SINCE my letters which appeared in NATURE on March 12 and July 30, 1908, you have published various communications on this subject. In your issue of March 18, p. 68, Mr. E. Gold contributes a mathematical calculation of the possible size of the difference between the temperature of the surrounding air and that of the balloon or the thermometer. His conclusion, if I rightly understand him, is that under the conditions which he postulates it is impossible for a thermometer of the Hergesell pattern to differ from the temperature of the surrounding air by sensibly more than 2° C.
