Abstract
IT has been pointed out by Mr. Archibald, in NATURE (vol. xx. p. 54), that the late Mr. J. A. Broun, F.R.S., was probably mistaken in supposing (see vol. xix. p. 6) that there is no direct causal connection between the annual variations of temperature and atmospheric pressure in India. Mr. Broun, appears to have adopted this opinion because, at all places in India where the annual oscillations of temperature and pressure are considerable their turning points are not the same. The highest pressure usually occurs about the middle of December, and the lowest at the end of June, while the lowest temperature is reached during the first ten days of January, and the highest in the latter half of May.
