From page 91...
... The «' -- an reduction of the observations with the black and bright bulbs freely exposed is not given, because of their approximate character. The former are, however, used in drawing the curve previously given under the head " black bulb thermometer." The relative intensities are expressed in the same unit used in reducing all the radiation observations, viz, the intensity m each series at 12.00 May 1 adopted as 1.
