WHOLE VOL. • NOTES. SOUTLI PACIFIC 123 



Hours: The hour of observation was 9'' throughout. 



Notes: All values are corrected to normal gravity (Lat. 45°) by 

 applying a correction of —.076 in. or —.077 in. 

 according to the barometer reading. 

 The pressure values from September 1918 were not con- 

 sidered sufficiently reliable to be included. 

 Temperature. 



Authorities: As for Pressure, 1918 September to 1919 October 

 from the same source. 



Site: As for Pressure. 



Observations: The standard adopted is the mean of the dry bulb 

 observations at 9^', as it was found on examination 

 of the mean daily maximum and minimum values 

 that for a number of years these thermometers 

 were recording incorrectly. 

 Precipitation.

 Pressure. 



After investigation it was found that there were no barometric 

 records from Auckland, sufficiently reliable for inclusion. 

 Temperature. 



The standard adopted is the mean of the mean daily maximum 



and mean daily minimum. 

 Site: In 1866 the height of the Observatory which was situated 

 in a Park i^ miles from the Plarbor was given as 140 ft. 

 above Mean Sea Level. In the year 1868 the Observatory 

 was removed to a height of 256 ft. In 1888 the instruments 

 were again removed to the roof of the Museum, \ mile from 

 the Harbor, and at a height of 125 ft. above Mean Sea Level. 

 Owing to radiation from the slate roof, this station was con- 

 demned, and on September i, 1909 the instruments were 

 finally removed to the Albert Park, \ mile from the Harbor 

 and at about the same altitude.
