METEOROLOGY. 263 



Caracas, July 16, 1858. 



Under date of January 10- I sent you my meteorological registers 

 for Colonia Tovar, for seven months ending with the last day of De- 

 cember, 1857, besides some other observations on the meteorology of 

 that region. 



The inclosed registers, which I send you this time, extend from the 

 1st of January to the 5th of June, 1858, for Colonia Tovar, and from 

 the 16th to the 30th of June for Caracas. 



On the 6th of June, after having sold my little property, I left 

 Colonia Tovar, the place where I had lived for more than four years, 

 and moved to Caracas. I am very sorry to say that on this journey, 

 in endeavoring to measure some of the highest points of the difficult 

 and dangerous mountain road, the barometer was accidentally broken, 

 and hence the barometrical observations end with the 5th of June. 



In February last I attempted to make a complete set of half-Jiourly 

 barometrical observations, but after proceeding with this task for 

 seven days I was compelled to leave off for want of time. The pres- 

 sure of business at present also prevents me from sending anything 

 more on meteorology this time.
