Tbe Meteorological form brought into use at the beginning 

 of 1S76 differs in some respects from the former one. It has 

 been adopted with the view of assimilating the Hobart Town 

 ^^rdsmore closely with those of stations in Europe, America, 

 *■. in order to co-operate in a system of International 

 Meteorology. Readings are added from the centigrade ther- 

 oometer, that being the instrument generally used on the 

 contineut of Europe. 



The mean is in all cases taken from the sums of the two 



i!? ^^sterj,, not from the maximum and minimum. 



The direction of the wind is registered from currents at a 

 "eight if 92 feet above sea level, and its force in lbs. per 

 •qoare foo.. 



The relative quantity cf rain that fell under the different 

 *indj IS registered each morning at 7 -30 a.m. 



Ihe 35 years' standard tables are used for obtaining the 

 inference from average.
