not depend upon my Judgment 10 any ap-

worked out from the observations and iso-

In determining the mean temperature or
the air column extending from the mean
base TO the summit of the mountain, the
observations made by Prof Mcclure dur
ing the previous week in the vicinity were
so numerous and well timed as TO leave far
less than the usual amount or uncertainty.
Making due allowance for the moderate
elevations of the stations, these observa-
tons show clearly that the temperature
about the mountain AT that time followed
that of Seattle very closely. and was also

The Result.
For the benefit of those not interested
In the scientific details OF this report, IL
may be stated at once that the summit
OF Mount Rainier. according to Professor
McClure's observations. is 1432s feet
above sea level. The attitudes OF various
sub-stations occupied en- route Will be
found further on. An account OF the
data, with description Of the methods
is given, to indicate the degree of reli-
ance to be placed upon the result.
