8. D. D. 



During the period compreliended in the above observations, a 

 remarkable cliangeableness characterized the weather ; the sud- 

 den vicissitude of frost and rain, cold and warmth ; all some- 

 times occurring within the twenty-four hours, afforded a striking 

 specimen of the changeableness of our climate. 



Not having had an opportunity of daily noting down the 

 weather myself, I give instead the above journal, made by a re- 

 lation at Walthamstow, in Essex, about six miles N.E. of St. 

 Paul's.
