364 Abstract of Meteorological Observations in Brazil. 



The coldest day was the 28th of July, when the mean of 

 the twenty-four hours was 49°. The hottest was the 1st of 

 November, which averaged 75°'9. 



My hygrometrical observations are but iev!, yet they may 

 not be entirely worthless.

The greatest quantity in twenty-four hours was on the 1st 

 of December, when it amounted to 6-3 inches. 



No one can be more fully aware than I am that many other 

 observations are necessary to present a perfect view of the 

 climate ; but the want of instruments, as well as other more 

 pressing occupations, will, I hope, be a sufficient excuse for 

 the deficiency. W. J. Henwood.
