On thewhole, however, it seems clear that the first half and last half of thedata are in fair accord as to the course of temperature departuresfollowing sequences of solar change. Reverting to figure 2, the principal contrasted temperature featurescorresponding to rising and falling solar sequences are large, and evensurprisingly so. In many of the months, temperature changes atWashington exceeding 5° Fahrenheit are found in each curve of thepair. In some months, as October, December, and February, the largerranges even exceed 10° Fahrenheit. Thus we have come upon de-partures from normal temperature which
