✦ Synopsis

The extra detail provided by Warwick Hughes con®rms the point made by Nicholls et al. (1996), namely that at Adelaide the maximum temperatures measured in a Glaisher stand are substantially higher than those measured in a Stevenson screen. Minimum temperatures are, on average, slightly lower in the Glaisher stand. So, as pointed out in Nicholls et al. (1966), mean temperatures for Australia during the nineteenth century, which were often measured in a Glaisher stand or a similar open exposure, would be biased warm, relative to twentieth century measurements.
