XVI. ACCOUNT 
OF METEOROLOGICAL OBSERVATIONS, MADE IN GEORGIA AND 
SOUTH CAROLINA. 
By ABIEL HOLMES, p.p. Fr. a. a. 
FROM meteorological observations, made during my residence 
in Georgia, I respectfully offer to the acaprmy the following selec- 
tions and results. For the imperfection of them, my ill health, my 
absence from that country during the summer and autumnal months, 
and the accident of breaking my thermometer, must be my apology. 
Imperfect as they are, they give some general idea of the temperature 
of the climate of Georgia, and are confirmatory of the accounts, which 
have been published, of the temperature of Carolina. Ihave taken ~ 
the liberty to subjoin a few thermometrical observations, made at Sa- 
vannah, in 1785, by Timothy Matlack Esq.* who fayoured me with 
a copy of them. These, with some additional observations of other 
literary men respecting the heat and cold of South Carolina, will, I 
persuade myself, make some amends for the deficiency of my own 
memoir.
