2 Dr Davy's Meteorological Observations. 



The following observations are examples selected from 

 many which have been made at " The Oaks," a house situated 

 on the skirts of the village of Ambleside, and close to the 

 church, about 100 feet above Windermere, which latter is 

 140 feet above the level of the sea. It may be farther added, 

 in regard to the locality, that the grass-plot, on which the 

 thermometer indicating the eifect of radiation was placed, is 

 in shade till the sun is pretty high, being shaded by Wans- 

 fell, one of the higher hills of the country, I'ising to the 

 eastward.
