“Underground Temperature”

Abstract

THE Report of the British Association Committee on Underground Temperature appearing in NATURE, vol. xvii. p. 476, gives me an opportunity of questioning the treatment of the matter and urging the rejection of any figures obtained. This opportunity I had often wished for when reading over the allusions to underground temperature which spoil text-books, but would scarcely avail myself of now were not the “report” apparently “accepted” in significant silence.
