METEOROLOGICAL OBSERVATIONS /;.' IRELAND 

 i?i the Tear 1793. By RICHARD KIRWAN, EJq; LL.D. 

 F. R. S. and M. R. I. J. 



IN my former papei^s on this fubjecH: I have laid down the Read Jan. 

 rules of probability or meafures of expedlation of the three ^* ^'^^^' 

 moft important feafons of the year, as far as they could be 

 eftabliflied by an experience of forty-one years, and deter- 

 mined the limits of each with as much precifion as the data 

 I could collecft would admit. The feafons that are conform- 

 able to thefe I fhall therefore call regular, and thofe that 

 deviate from them anomolous, until a ftill longer experience 

 inflrudts us to alter or improve thefe rules. It will therefore 

 be the bufinefs of the meteorologift who chufes to follow this 

 method to exhibit every year a view of the feafons of that 

 immediately preceding, and examine their conformity with 



F f 2 thefe
