In the two tables of temperature there is a slight discrepancy in the latitude of Jacksonville, and a considerable one in longitude. Other discrepancies of the same character are noticeable. In fact there is considerable discrepancy of authority and maps as to the positions of the parallels of latitude in Florida, which should be settled. At present I am unable to decide which is right.
