CORRIGENDA TO VOL. XXVIII.
"_Extreme cold_" of 1766-7.--In Volume xxviii, at page 183, are quoted
observations at New Haven, Conn., on the cold of 1766, 1767, stated
in "_degrees of extreme cold_." This phrase being obscure, was then
erroneously interpreted to be equivalent to "_degrees below zero_." An
examination of the MS. Meteorological Journal of Pres. Stiles, shows
that the words "_extreme cold_" were marked on the thermometer (which
was probably Hauksbee's) as comprehending a region, on the scale,
of 20° H., viz. from 85° to 105°; 100° H. being equal to 0° Fahr.
Immediately above this region of _extreme cold_, is a region of 20°
marked "_frost_," extending from 65° to 85° H. (65° H. being equal to
+32° Fahr.) The cold at New Haven ascertained from other sources was,
Dec. 31, 1766, -1° F., Jan. 1, 1767, -8-1/2 F., Jan. 2, -9-3/4 F.,
which numbers correspond very nearly with the statements in _extreme
cold_, when explained on the principles above mentioned. The cold of
Jan. 5, 1835, at New Haven, still appears to be more intense than any
previously recorded here.
CORRIGENDA TO VOL. XXXII.
_East Bridgewater Meteorite._--I have examined the East Bridgewater,
Mass., Meteorite referred to in vol. xxxii, p. 395, of this Journal,
and find the specimens which were collected to be nothing more than
old slag from an iron-furnace, which had been spread over the field in
former times. Some rounded balls of these had been washed up during
the severe thunder shower during which the fall was believed to have
occurred. One of the specimens submitted to my inspection was from the
identical parcel collected by the lad with whom the report originated.
Its surface was much invested, (and its substance partially penetrated)
with rootlets of grasses!
