METEOROLOGICAL OBSEEYATIONS 



MADE AT 



CAPE PEMBROKE, FALKLAND ISLANDS, 



DURING THE YEARS 1903-1904. 



On the arrival of the "Scotia" at Port Stanley, Falkland Islands, in 

 January 1903, a number of new instruments, sent out by the Meteoro- 

 logical Office, were taken to Cape Pembroke Lighthouse, which, through 

 the courtesy of Dr W. N. Shaw, F.R.S., Director, of the above Ottice, was 

 to serve as a base station during the time the " Scotia" was in the south. 

 The observations were made every four hours by Mr John Pearce, 

 principal lighthouse keeper, and his assistant. The data given in the 

 following tables were prepared in the Meteorological Office, and from 

 these data the means were computed. A barograph was also left by 

 the " Scotia," the charts of which are discussed in the general results. 

 A sunshine recorder was set up at Port Stanley in charge of His 

 Excellency Mr (now Sir) William Grey Wilson, the Governor of the 

 Islands. The tabulation of the sunshine values was also carried out at 

 the Meteorological Office.
