VIU PREFACE. 



I purposed adding to the appendix, a 

 copy of our meteorological journal, but it 

 has been registered on so extensive a scale 

 that it would be too much to insert in this 

 small volume. For the farther information 

 of my readers, I have inserted copies of my 

 instructions from the Admiralty and Earl 

 Bathurst.
