FROM TONKIN TO INDIA 



PART II. TALI-FOU TO INDIA 



My notebook containing metforological observations and details of our march 

 from the time of leaving Tali (i6th June) having been stolen on the 21st of July, 

 Part II. must be taken up at the latter date. Between June 16th and July 5th the 

 weather had been fine with cloudless sky (an unusual condition at the height of the 

 rains), rainy from July sth to 14th, and fair again from the 14th to the 21st. My 

 maximum and minimum registering thermometers were stolen at the same time ; 

 thenceforth I took the temperatures at 7 a.m., 2 p.m., and 9 p.m. ; and their mean will 

 give as nearly as possible that for the day.
