eusually occurs at each ii; years, though not invariably. One typeholds for instance through the two periods of ii; years each fromOctober 1841 to June 1864. But then, note the abrupt transitionbetween the 42 months preceding and the 42 months following July1864. The mean of the first pair of lines is almost precisely oppositeto the mean of the last pair, as is shown in figure 17 and table 9. Of the 10 curves illustrating the 21-month periodicity, numbers i,3, 4, 6, 8, and 9, beginning 1819, 1841, 1852, 1875, 1897, and 1910,respectively, are generally similar in phase, and not greatly differentin amplitude. Opposed in phase are curves 2, 5, 7, and 10, but they arenot quite so similar each to each. From this we see that during about70 years out of no, the 21-month periodicity, whether we regard itas true or spurious, would have produced nearly identical effects uponthe temperature of Berlin. The general mean effect over 70 years, as NO. 10 SOLAR RADIATION AND WEATHER STUDIESâABBOT 39
