Article XIII. 



Magnetical and Meteorological Observations. 

 By Col. Beaufoy, F.R.S. 



Bushey Heath, near Stanmore. 



Latitude 51° 37' 42" North. Longitude west in time 1' 20-7". 



The violence of the wind and rain prevented any observation 

 being made on the 5th. 



At noon on the 18th the weather was fine, and the wind blew 

 very fresh from the west by the north ; and on the rising of 

 some clouds in the north west, the needle became unsteady, and 

 vibrated at intervals 36' ; in the course of half an hour a violent 

 storm of hail and snow came from that quarter.
