The quantity of rain during the whole month of October was 3'0375, the weather 
generally mild, and the barometer very high. The occultation of Saturn, which happened 
on the 30th, was not observed by me: the moon rose among fleecy clouds, and was clear 
just before the occultation took place, which I did not see, being engaged, at the moment, 
moving my telescope ; and, in a very few seconds afterwards, the sky became oyercast, 
and the moon obscured—nor was she apparent until some time after the emersion. 
The rain which has fallen in the first half of November is 2°31865. The barometer 
has been unusually low ; and we have experienced some heavy gales of wind, particularly 
on the night of the 2d and during the whole of the 3d: the thermometer fell on the night 
of the 12th nearly 10 degrees below the freezing point; and the four last days have 
been fine,
