METEOROLOGICAL REPORT. 



To the Editor of the Analyst. 



Sir,— As I purpose to send you a Monthly Meteorological Report from hence, I think it 

 may be advantageons to those interested in Meteorological pursuits to mention that the 

 Barometer is one of my own construction, the mercury of which has been boiled in the tube, 

 and that I have adjusted the scale after a very careful admeasurement of the length of the 

 mercurial column from the surface of the mercury in the cistern, which has a screw and ivory 

 point to keep the surface always at the same level precisely. I have found by actual observa- 

 tion that the barometer at the Library House, Malvern, staiuls .4{)j, or nearly half an inch 

 lower than it does at the cottage at the Rhydd Ferry, which, at a nmgh calculation, would 

 give 450 or 500 feet as the elevation of Great Malvern above the surface of the River. 



I have in myposscssion several Thermometers, all agreeing remarkably well in their indi- 

 cations with each other, and with a delicate and accurate one attached to my Hygnmieter 

 made by Xewmiin. The day and night thermometers are of Xewman's manufacture ; they ai e 

 placed in an eastern aspect, and the former is well secured from the influence of the direct 

 rays of the sun ; the latter affords an accurate indication of the temperature to which the 

 air falls during the night, for its situation does not admit of its being affected by radiation, 

 a process which will often depress a thermometer, if exposed to its full influence, several 

 degrees below the temperature of the atmosphere. 



You may, if you please, pietix these remarks to the accompanying Report for July. 



I remain, Sir, 



Yours, ^'c.

On the 4th of August, about six o'clock in the evening, a large meteor, in the north 

 part of the heavens, was observed from a village four miles north of Leominster. 

 It appeared to break from some light thin clouds, about 40 degrees from the horizon ; 

 it left a tail of bright light through the whole extent it traversed of the shape of a 

 cone, with its base resting upon the meteor ; it made a descent of about 10 degrees, 

 when the globe, or body of the meteor, seemed to burst and disappear, but the 

 brightness in the tail continued a few seconds longer ; leaving a white wreatli of 

 vapour, which remained visible for about two minutes, gradually becoming less 

 distinct at the extremities until the whole was finally dissipated.
