70 Meteorological Report for the year 1828. 
ArT. = —Meteorological Report for the year 1828 ; by 
Dentson Otmstep, Professor of Mathematics and Natural 
Philosophy’ in Yale College. 
From the papers of the Connecticut Academy of Arts and Sciences. 
Ar the close of the year 1827, I laid before the Academy 
an abstract of our Meteorologi ical Register, for that year,* in- 
timating at the same +e a hope and expectation that similar 
reports would be made from year to year, until we should 
obtain a series of observations sufficiently extensive, to ena- 
ble us to ascertain the true character of our climate. In 
accordance with ‘ch a plan, Libs beg leave now to present to 
the Academy, the meteorological results obtained during 
the year 1828, comparing them occasionally with the cor- 
responding observations of the preceding year.
