KIYBALL, in Charge, Solar Radiation Investigatione. For a descri tion of instruments and exposures, and an account of t Yl e method of obtaining: and reducmg: the ..~ ~ ~ ~ . measurements, the reader is referred To this RETIE% for April, 1920, 48 : 225. From Table 1 it is seen that direct solar radiation in- tensities averaged slightly above the normal for August at Washin ton and very close to normal at Madison calories per minute er square centuneter of normal surface measured at $ashington a t noon on August 22 is within 2 per cent of the August mtisinium for that station. Table 2 shows that the total solar and sk radiation to the August normal at both Washington and Madison, al- though at Washington there was a deficiency in every week except one. Skylight polarization measurements made on ei ht days at Washington give a mean of 57 er cent wit% a average values for August at Washington. At Madison, measurements made on eight days give a mean of 55 er cent with a mLsimum of 72 per cent on the 25th. !he mean is below the average polarization, and the maximum sli htly above the average maximum, for and Linco B n. A maximum intensity of 1.40 gram- received on a horizontal surface averaged cose 9 maximum of 70 per cent on the 22d. 8 hese are above August at Ma 8 ison.
