The two last metals were discovered by the late Mr. Stoddart. 

 See paper read before the Bristol Naturalists' Society, Vol. II. , part 1, 

 1876-77, new series. Mr. Stoddart was so good a chemist that 1 think 

 there can be no doubt as to the truth of his statement. In 100 parts 

 of the Limestone he found -003 of silver. Mr. Merry, of Sv 

 has verified Mr. Stoddart's observations as to gold. He found three 

 grains per ton. 



METEOROLOGY OF THE MIDLANDS 



THE WEATHER OF JULY. 1881. 



BY CLEMENT L. WRAGGE, F.R.G.S., E.M.S., ETC. 



[Up to the time of going to press we have only received Mr. Wragge's 

 collation of the reports of his band of observers contained in the 

 following Table. Mr. Wragge's arduous exertions in connection 

 with the daily meteorological observations which he is making 

 on Ben Nevis occupy a great deal of time ; and to this cause, 

 it is no doubt due, that the usual monthly summary (for July) has 

 not come to hand in time for presentation to our readers in regular 

 course.— Ens. M. N.
