The instruments and their situations are the same as they 

 were last year. 



The barometer is observed o?ice only (10 a. m.) during the 

 four-and-twenty hours, in consequence of the very slight diur- 

 nal variation. 



The winds are ascertained by looking to sea with a glass, 

 (for all indicators on shore here deceive,) but they are not 

 given as being strictly true. 



The mean of the diurnal range of the thermometer is that 

 derived from the maximum and minimuai, which is thought 

 near enough to the exact mean for such observations.
