1. 1. Consider, for example, the view: "Where it is a question of determining only the temperature, it is a great mistake to insist on extreme accuracy in meteorological work. Laymen (and indeed many meteorologists) have no idea of the rapidity with which air temperature can vary both in space and in time." W. E. K. Middleton and A. F. Spilhaus, Meteorological Instruments (Toronto, 1953), 61-2.

3. 3. Manley alluded to this possibility when he observed: "Deep in the ancestoral consciousness of Europeans are found the stories of past Golden Ages, of idyllic realms where the weather could be relied on; deep, too, is our fear of extremes, of the parching drought of the Sahara, or, behind the Alps, the overmastering cold of the great Hercynian forest and the endless unknown beyond." G. Manley, "Reviews of Modern Meteorology - 9, Climatic Variation," Quart. J. Roy. Meteorol. Soc, 79 (1953), 185.
4. 4. This interval is "an important biological constant of the nervous system ... It is the smallest extension of the present and indicates the point where repetitive events are changed into a permanent modality." G. Schaltenbrand, "Consciousness and Time," Ann. N.Y. Acad. 5c/., 138, art. 2 (1967), 634.
