Abstract
OUR readers will doubtless recollect a recent discussion in our pages relative to the priority of the invention of protected bulbs for deep-sea thermometers. The discussion has done something more than establish priority of invention, it has been the means of producing what, we believe, will prove to be a new and valuable meteorological instrument, for we have before us a paper by Messrs. Negretti and Zambra, communicated to the Royal Society by Dr. Carpenter at their last meeting, describing a new thermometer of such novel construction that it cannot fail to interest all scientific persons, meteorologists especially. We regret our inability, owing to want of space, to reproduce the paper in its entirety. The following are the main points of this communication.
