The observations in each line of the table apply to a period of twenty-four hours, beginning at 9 A. M. on the day indicated in the first column. A dash denotes, that the result is included in the next following observation,
Tenth Month.-16. Fine morning wet p. m.: lightning in
the evening. 17. Showery. 18. Fine a. m.: shower p. m.
19. Hoar frost: fair day, after misty morning. 20. Cloudy:
a. m. much wind at E. 22. About half-past seven p. m. a bright
blue meteor appeared in the N. and passing to the westward with
a steady and rather slow motion became extinct. There were
some traces of Cirrostratus clouds, which increased afterwards.
23. Maximum of temp. at nine a. m.: cloudy, with a breeze.
24. Overcast. 25. Cloudy, a. m.: clear, p. m. During the
twilight there was an abundance of red haze, first in the E.
horizon, over clouds in that quarter; then at a considerable
elevation in the W. It ended more clear, and orange coloured.
26. Cloudy at intervals. 27. a. m. Windy. 28. Hoar frost;
which was found, on examination, to consist, not of spicula
attached to the herbage, but of the drops of dew, frozen clear
and solid. 29. Hoar frost: Cumulostrati, followed by Nimbi,
one of the latter approaching from the E. at four p. m. exhi-
bited a double rainbow, on a ground of purple. 30. Spicular
hoar frost very misty: clear at noon: Cirrostratus, and a little
rain, p. m. wet and stormy night. 31. Windy, a. m.: Cirrus,
with Cumulus: a shower about four, with a fine bow.
Eleventh Month.-1. Hoar frost. 2. Granular hoar frost:
very clear sun-rise: clouds at noon: rain, p. m.: very windy
night. 3. Sunshine, a. m.: wind, N.N.W.: a shower, p. m.
6. Calm clear weather, with hoar frost, these three days: the
wind now rising. 7. Small rain at intervals: a solar halo, p. m.
of large diameter. 8. Fair, a. m. Before four p. m. dark
Nimbi, and rain beginning: being on the south side of London,
I was surprised with a flash of lightning and a sharp peal of
thunder: about half-past six had a glimpse of a meteor passing
to the W. It was said to lighten after this time. 8, 9. Windy.
11. Stormy night. 12. Windy and cloudy; p. m. wet. 13. Hoar
frost. 14. The same, with crystallized rime on the shrubs.
Winds Variable: the Easterly prevailed in the former, the
Westerly in the latter part.
Barometer: greatest height
Mean of the period....43 41°.
Evaporation, 0.83 inches. Rain, 214 inches.
