For all these altitudes we are indebted to Mr. Roberts, C.E.: They were 
determined by connecting the Railway levellings at Hay with the Ordnance bench 
marks found at that place, as already stated in notes to Table I. It will be seen 
above that Mr. Roberts gives 174 feet as the altitude of Barr’s Court Station, and 
the accuracy of his statement is proved in the most satisfactory manner by follow- 
ing the railway levellings to the Ordnance bench marks at Leominster, thus :—The 
bench mark on the front of Leominster Town Hall is 250°478 feet above sea-level, 
and 19°5 feet above the rails at the Leominster Station. The rails at Leominster 
Station are therefore 230°987 feet above the sea; and, by Railway levelling, they 
are 57 feet above the rails at Barr’s Court, Hereford. Therefore the rails at Barr’s 
Court are 173'978 feet above the sea,

METEOROLOGICAL NOTES AND OBSERVATIONS FOR THE 
YEAR 1874. 
Instead of drawing up the usual tables of barometrical readings, tempera- 
tures, and daily direction of the wind, I have this year reproduced the monthly 
meteorological notes already given to the public in the pages of the Hereford Times. 
In these notes the reader will find all he could have found in the tables, and, in 
addition, some facts and remarks which would not have appeared in them. A few 
corrections and necessary alterations have been made, but the notes are substan- 
tially the same. 
The mean of all the 9 a.m. barometrical readings during the year 1874 is 29'767 
inches, the readings being corrected for temperature and error, but not reduced to 
sea-level. 
The cistern of my own standard barometer being 187 feet above sea-level we 
may add 0,20 inch to bring the above mean to sea-level reading, and then we shall 
come very close to the yearly mean of the barometer at sea-level on the British 
coasts, viz., 29°95 inches. 
The most remarkable atmospheric pressure during the year occurred on the 
6th of March, when the barometer, corrected but not reduced to sea-level, read 
30°621 inches at 9 a.m. 
The lowest 9 a.m. reading during the year (28'433 inches) was registered on 
November 29th. 
The mean temperature of the whole year was above the average, being 49°59 
degrees, while Mr. Glaisher’s average year shows a temperature of 49°02 degrees. 
I will here place in parallel columns the mean temperatures, 1st of the months in
