This table was made by the Hon. John Cotton
Smith, formerly Governor of the State of Connecticut,
who resided at Sharon and was in the habit Of OBJ
serving the temperature of the air three times day,
viz at o'clock a. m, at II m, and at p. m. To
find the average of the year. all the o'clock Observa-
lions are added together and divided by the number Of
days. and so of the others, and then what the
average Of the whole would be, just we would add
up the degrees in the last column of the table aud
divide by IS to get the average ofthyse years.

inference from this is that it will not fall much lower
