Tl<e Meteorolcgical form brought into use at the beginning 

 of lS76difier3 in some respects from the former one. It has 

 been iidopted with che view of assimilatmg the Hobait Town 

 records more closely with those of stations in Luropa America 

 etc.. in order to co-operate in a system of I;'.ternaLXonal 

 -Meteorology. Readings are added from the centigrade ther- 

 mometer, that being the instrument generally used on tne 

 continea of Europe. , .., ^r fi,« trtrrt 



^.^e mean is in all crises taken from the sums of the two 

 daily registerb, no^. from the maximum and minimum. 



Tiie direction of the wind is registered _ 



..i"^ - o from currents at a 



heigMTf^y2feVt' above" 's'ea levef, and its force in lbs. per 



'**5reTative quantity cf rain that fell under the difi'erent 

 winds is registered each morning at ''"^^ '' ^" 



■30 a.m. 



The 35 years' standard tables are used for obtaining the 

 difference from average. „ .n. . c *.
