Barometric Observations. 7\ 
on the quantity of rain-caught, it would be well if every person fa- 
vouring the public with their observations would with every re- 
gister mention the height at which their instruments were placed 
above the ground. I remain, sir, your obedient servant, 
To Dr. Titiloch. Henry Lawson. 
P.S. Having made atmospheric electrical observations, both 
day and night, with an exploring wire (sixty yards in length) 
from the 24th to the 26th of December, during the time the 
barometer was so low, I found all the electrical indications were 
constantly negative. 
Height of Rain Gauge and Evaporator above the ‘Ground— 
Four Feet.
