| AT Fort Vancouver observation of the
same character were commenced July LIST
of this year, and are still going on. At
Fort Dallcs similar observations have been
made since July 10Th. The observations
at the camp on the mountain slope were
commenced nt 7r NJ. on Augcs, 22l. and
continued hourly with omiss ons) until s
A. NJ. on the oath. The barometer at the
summit was hung up at 1850 p. NJ. Au-

pcndently. and the two records as shown to
me were essentially the same. The mean
reading of the barometer reduced to 800
Fab. was 10. 941 inches with an observed
air temperature Of 4lo7' and wet bulb Of
3lo3'.
The height of Fort Vancouver above
Astoria was computed from the mean of
the Simultaneous observations taken dur
ing the months of July and August. The
height Of the Dalles above Fort Vancouver
was deducted from the corresponding OBJ
serva,ions during twenty .one days in July
together with those for the month of Aug
ust. The Height of The camp on the noun
tain slope above Fort Vancouver, and also
the height of that camp above Fort Dalles
were then sepa, ately computed from the
daily means of the observations taken at
the three stations during August 23d. The
difference between the two should give
the same result as by the calculations be-
tween Fort Vancouver and Fort Dalles,
lu, on account ofthe, short period observed
on the mountain camp, a plus correction
Of little over eight feet was found neces.
sary to the estimated height Of that camp
to make the three results agree.
It then remained only to calculate the
height of the summit of Mount Hood above
the mountain camp. The mean of the
three observations of the barometer was
assumed as the nearest approximations we
can have to the mean pressure for that
day. as the hoary oscillation a. the summit
is unknown.
With regard to the mean temperature
for that day. we have no positive data to
determine it. We cannot take observed
temperature. rs the observations were tax
