<sup>1</sup> This temperature scale is in disuse, and of mere historical interest.<br/>
<sup>2</sup> [[Normal human body temperature]] is 36.8 ±0.7&nbsp;°C, or 98.2 ±1.3&nbsp;°F. The commonly given value 98.6&nbsp;°F is simply the exact conversion of the nineteenth-century [[Germany|German]] standard of 37&nbsp;°C. Since it does not list an acceptable range, it could therefore be said to have excess (invalid) precision. See [http://hypertextbook.com/facts/LenaWong.shtml Temperature of a Healthy Human (Body Temperature)] for more information.<br/>
Some numbers in this table have been rounded off.
