General Note. 



The stations are: Prospect, Lat. 32° 18' N., Long. 64° 45' W. ; 

 and St. George, Lat. 32° 23' N., Long. 64° 41' W. No 

 corrections have been applied to any of the accompanying 

 figures to allow for a change of site. 



Pressure. 



At sea level. Observations were at Prospect from January 1931 

 to 8^ March 30, 1932, and at St. George from 20'' March 30, 

 1932, onward. Times of observation were 8*^, 15^, and 20** 

 from January 1931 to December 1936, and 8", 14'', and 20'' 

 from January 1937 onward. All times are for 6oth meridian. 

 Height of barometer cistern at Prospect, 125 ft. above sea 

 level; at St. George, 158 ft. above sea level. 

 At station level. Individual values for station level have not been 

 tabulated up to the present. The method adopted for obtain- 

 ing the monthly means here given has been to apply a cor- 

 rection to the monthly means for sea level, using the mean 

 of temperatures at the hours of observation for the month in 

 question, to obtain values for 158 ft. above sea level for the 

 whole period January 1931 to December 1940. The follow- 

 ing values of pressure at station level (125 ft.) for the period 

 when observations were made at Prospect were obtained in 

 a similar way after reduction to millibars :

 The day is reckoned as covering 24 hours beginning at 8 a. m. 

 on the date in question. 



The preceding notes are those given by the Bermuda Meteorological 

 Officer. The values of pressure were sent in millibars but are here
