TitlePaper, 'On actinometrical observations made in India at Mussorie [Mussoorie] in autumn of 1880 and summer and autumn of 1881' by J B N [John Baboneau Nickterlien] Hennessey
Date1882
DescriptionHennessey writes: 'My last communication dealt with the actinometrical observations made by Mr W H Cole, M A, and myself in 1879; I have now the pleasure to submit the observations taken in 1880 by Mr Cole, and in 1881 by Mr H W Peychers and myself. The former happen to be few in number, but the latter present the longest series I have ever been able to take, extending as they do over thirty-two days. The 1881 observations were moreover made under certain special conditions, which are not without interest.'

Annotations in pencil and ink. Includes a series of tables.
