| Title | Referee's report by John Frederick William Herschel, on a paper 'On the synchronous distribution of temperature over the earth's surface' by Henry Hennessy |
| Date | 12 June 1865 |
| Description | Not recommended for publication in the 'Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society'. Finds the paper 'bewildering'. Considers the author to have done all they can under the circumstances. The number of stations used is too few. A summary version may be suitable for the Notices of the Royal Society. The synthermal curves are novel and should be brought to the notice of meteorologists. Is happy for the report to be forwarded to the author, but cannot commit to further correspondence.
