Yours truly, JAMES CROLL. In answer to an inquiry from his old friend, Rev. O. Fisher, Croll writes EDINBURGH, qtk August 1879. Rev. O. Fisher, M. A. MY DEAR SIR, The most elaborate article on the temperature of space is by M. Pouillet, 1838, a translation of which is to be found in Taylor's Scientific Memoirs, vol. Iv. P. 44, 1846. I read it along with Herschel's many years ago, but I now forget all about it. I am glad you are going into the subject. It is a most important one, and one which h...as not received that attention from physicists which it deserves. It is perhaps quite possible, as you state, that observations made at the equator might show something which would lead to results. I perceive your objection to Herschel's mode quite clearly, but I would require to grind up a little on the subject of absorption and radiation before I could venture an opinion. Speaking off hand, I would say with you that the temperature of the air at the confines of the atmosphere need not be exactly the mean below the temperature of the earth's surface and that of space.
