* The Evaporation for 1842 is computed from the evaporation force, in proportion to the respective values of 
the estimated and measured evaporation in the corresponding months of the years 1843 and 1844. The result, cal- 
culated for the mean of the whole period (1843-1846) during which the evaporating force and the spontaneous eva- 
poration were registered daily together, is 39°870 inches :—

Thus, if 19:99 : 30908 :: 25:8 : 39:87 
+ The evaporation in 1843 is somewhat too small in amount, from the gauge not being sufficiently exposed to 
wind and sun during the first half of the year. 
+ Till the close of 1846, the dish was placed on a stool 8 inches above the ground ; since that period, it has been 
placed on a stand 4 feet 4 inches in height, and just large enough to hold it.
