44S APPENDIX. 



Dr. Lovell, to whom the public is indebted not only for the 

 register itself, but for the measures that have led to its con- 

 struction, has instituted a course of meteorological observa- 

 tions, at the several military posts of the United States, which 

 is to embrace a period of at least five years. When this shall 

 have been performed, we have reason to believe that the data 

 furnished therefrom, will lead to results relative to the climate 

 of our country, more satisfactory than any that have hitherto 

 been published. 



S. H. L.
