ACOBNBUBT HILL. 



Our last and most satisfactory measurement of this hill was made on the 26th 

 of September, 1868, Three barometric observations were taken both at the 

 higher and lower stations, the barometer falling slowly and steadily all the time. 

 Barometric difference between upper and lower stations 0765 inch ; mean tem- 

 perature 58-3 ; height of hill, 735 feet 6 inches ; height abore sea-level, 915 feet ; 

 distance between barometers, 4 miles 2J furlongs. 



8KAGEB HILL, N.B. OF WOOLHOPI VALLET. 



On my first visit to this hill, in company with the Kev. E. Dixon, I had the 

 misfortune to break both my thermometers (at least my boy broke them for me) 

 just as we reached the summit. However, we made a guess at the temperature 

 and took barometric observations at three points with the following results :— Ist 

 station, 700 feet ; 2nd, 698 feet ; 3rd, 658 feet above Hereford, or 882, 880, and 

 840 feet above sea-leveL A second barometric measurement, both attached and 

 and detached thermometers being used, made the highest point 704 feet above 

 Hereford, and 886 feet above sea level In this measurement the distance be- 

 tween the barometers was 7^ miles. 



EGDON HILL. 



I visited this hill in company with Dr. Bull, I think, in 1868. There is nothing 

 imposing in its appearance ; in fact the rise is so gradual that one gets to the top 

 almost without noticing any particular hill. The people in the neighbourhood, 

 however, believe it to be as high as the Malvern Beacon. 



The corrected readings were as follows : — Hereford, 30 '048 ; Egdon-hill, 

 29 347; difference of barometers, 0701 inch; mean temperature, 62 "1; height 

 above Hereford, 660 feet ; above the sea, 841 feet. Distance between barometers, 

 10 miles. 



CBEDENHILL. 



The last measurement was made January 9th, 1869. The height calculated was 

 530 feet above Hereford and 712 feet above the sea. Distance between barometers 

 4 miles 3^ furlongs. 



THE HOUGH WOOD, 



Measured last on September 23rd, 1868. Height 440 feet above Hereford ; 

 622 feet above the sea. Distance between barometers 5 miles 7 furlongs. 



Last measured on September 2l8t, 1868. Height 423 feet above Hereford and 

 605 feet above the sea. Distance between barometers 2 miles 4 furlongs. 



WHITFIELD HOUSE. 



The lawn in front of Whitfield House is by barometric measurement 245 feet 

 above Hereford, or 427 feet above the sea. This last measurement of altitude I
