METEOROLOGY FOE MAY, 1865. 

 Peivate Obseevatort, Hobaet Town. 



The mean in all cases is taken from the sums of the three daily registers, 

 and not from the maximum and minimum. 



The direction of the wind is registered from cun-ents moving at a height ^ 

 192 feet, and the force according to Lind's Wind Guace. The supposition, 

 however, of an uniform velocity during the month is a very arbitrary one, 

 and the results can be considered only approximately correct. 



The relations of the quantities of rain which fell vmder the different winds, 

 are registered each evening at sundown. 



The twenty years' standard tables are used for obtaining the difference 

 from the average.
