Abstract
THE chief difficulty in the way of explaining the annual and diurnal variations of the barometer by the heating and cooling of the air, appears to be the existence of a double maximum and minimum. To show how such a double maximum and minimum might result from the changes in the temperature of the dry air alone, is the object of the present paper. I commence with the diurnal variation.
