Wet days comprehend rainy, showery, foggy, snowy, and 

 those in which there was a fall of hail. 



One of the pluviameters is situated on the top of a chimney 

 thirty feet from the ground, the other five feet only ; both are 

 apparently free from the operation of local causes; but the lowest 

 has been found, with scarcely an exception, to exceed consider- 

 ably the other, and in the whole amounts to more than two inches 

 in the year. 



The' journal consists of three observations daily, viz. from 

 8 to 9 a. m. ; 3 p. m. ; and from 10 to 1 1 p. m. ; and from the means 

 of those periods the barometer appears to be highest at the night 

 observation, next high at the morning observation, and lowest at 

 three, or the noon observations. The means of the three daily 

 observations are always recorded.
