 Atmospheric Phenomena. 



N.B These years were remarkable for cold, wet, and tempestuous weather, par- 

 ticularly the last, which was extraordinary for the lateness of tne season. There was 

 rime by the 23d of August. An appearance of aurora borealis was always followed 

 by a continuance of rain and high wind. The thermometer reached 83" on the 9th 

 June 1835 ; and the barometer fell to 28.22 at midnight on the 2d February 1833 (it 

 was uncommonly variable in the spring and end of autumn of that year). These 

 were the extremes in the four years. It is to be observed that May 1836 was a very 

 dry and sunny month, and that the solar eclipse was seen without cloud throughout. 

 The mortality in this neighbourhood during 1836 much beyond an average ; the pre- 

 valent diseases typhus fever, putrid sore throat, and influenza, the latter became 

 general towards the end of December. The lowest temperature, 17th January 1835, 

 18; the highest pressure, 3d January 18c5, 30.58.
