NOTES. 

 The sources froju which I have compiled the foregoing Tables, were, 1st, A col- 

 lection of oljservations made during part of the years 1781-82, which I transcribed 

 from the MS. of Svabo's Account of Faroe, vol. iii. in the Royal Library, Copen- 

 hagen in 1822 : 2d, A collection of observations made at Thorshavn during the years 

 1796-6-7-8-9, chiefly by Captain Kuhn, Commandant in Faroe, which 1 copied 

 from the originals there preserved in 1821. Thermometrical observations were only 

 made during that period, of which 1 have here given the results : the remaining ob- 

 tnrrationR on the barometer and weather I hope to be able to make use of at a future
