For several years past the author has published in his annual reports to the Boston Water Board the monthly temperatures at the surface, mid-depth and bottom of Lake Cochituate, the storage basins and distributing reservoir connected with the Boston Water Supply, together with the temperatures in the city mains. These tables are based on weekly observations made at the time of collecting samples for analysis, and as the temperature is not the principal object, and dependence is necessarily placed upon unskilled observers, the results cannot always be depended upon to the tenth of a degree, although they are so expressed. The observation of the correct temperature of water is a more difficult matter than is generally realized.
