| Title | Referee's report by James Challis, on a paper 'On the mean temperature of the observatory at Highfield House, near Nottingham, from the year 1810 to 1850' by Edward Joseph Lowe |
| Date | 27 October 1851 |
| Description | Recommended for publication in the 'Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society'. Suggests difficulties with the gaps in the data. The paper has value in conection with a similar paper by James Glaisher [Transactions of the Royal Society, 1849, part 2], which the author seems to have taken inspiration from. Suggests a comparison of the results obtained by the two papers. Suggests improvements to punctuation, style, repetition and references to the paper by James Glaisher.
