GENERAL REMARKS 

 Pressure. 



Tiie pressure observations in the Indian tal)les have been cor- 

 rected to 32° F., to constant of gravity at Lat. 45°, and to 

 the present level of the barometer. The data available for 

 the years previous to 1889 are the means of 10'^ and 16'', 

 local time, observations ; but in later years observations have 

 in general been recorded only at 8'', local time. Corrections 

 taken from Ind. Metl. Memoirs Vol. XVII, have therefore 

 been applied to the earlier data in order to make them com- 

 parable with the 8'^ data of later years. 



Local time is used at all observatories, and the Indian standard 

 time to which the 8'^ local time corresponds is given at the 

 top of the respective tables. 

 Temperature. 



The entries of temperature in the Indian tables are the means of 

 the daily maximum and minimum temperatures. 

 Rainfall. 



For a few stations rainfall measurements, which were made by 

 the Provincial Governments before the establishment of the 

 Meteorological Department's observatories, have been in- 

 cluded in the tables, the year of change being noted in each 

 case. Dashes in the tables indicate that the data are not 

 available and cannot reasonably be obtained by interpolation 

 from neighboring stations. 



NOTES ON D.\TA FROM INDIVIDUAL STATIONS 

 AHMADABAD 



There was a change in the location of the rain gage and in the 

 control of the rainfall registration in February 1893 but no correction 

 was applied to the older rainfall readings on this account. 



AKYAB 



Height of barometer from start to date has been 20 ft. From 1875 

 to 1888 the observations were recorded at 10'^ and 16'^, local time; 

 from 1889 to date at 8'' : the former series were reduced to the 

 latter by applying the corrections contained in Ind. Metl. Memoirs 

 Vol. XVII, p. XXVIII.
