page 303 note * If the heat from the Moon have any effect on the dissipation or formation of clouds, it is obvious that the effect will be greatest during the night, when the Moon is about full; the want of observations from 9h P.M. till 5h A.M. would therefore vitiate the results more markedly than in previous cases investigated, where any effect of the Moon must be supposed sufficiently permanent to affect the means during the day as well as the night.
