 changed more than once, so that the records are of very subordinate value. 



(4) LUCKNOW. 



With regard, however, to the present capital of Oudh, Lucknow, we possess very

TABLE LIX. 



The average Monthly Water-level, Rainfall, Relative Humidity, Temperature, and the 

 total Cholera among the Etiropean and Native troops and prisoners at Lucknow.
