maker, carefully cleaned, and re- 

 placed. 



Position good, ■well exposed. On 

 visiting this gauge, found that the 

 measuring-glass had been entirely 

 destroyed a short time previously ; 

 graduated a glass roughly for tem- 

 porary use, and ordered one for the 

 above diameter to be sent to Mr. B. 

 immediately. 



A bad gauge badly placed, the house 

 30 feet high, being only 15 feet S.E, 

 of the gauge. Tlie rim of gauge, in- 

 stead of being knife-edged, is 0'04 

 in. thick ; the float is a large bung. 



Having found the gauge standing at 

 l'I5 in., added .WO gr.<!., it showed 

 117; added 1000 grs.,

 2^11. From the bad po.sition and 

 bad construction of the gauge, the 

 observations, extending over30|years, 

 are evidently useless. 



A very old metal float-gauge, freely 

 exposed, except to W., where there 

 is an apple-tree, 30 ft. distant and 

 20 ft. high. 



Perfectly open situation, on a very fine 

 lawn. Glass not properly tested, 

 but believed to be correct. 



In the gardens below the castle; per- 

 fectly exposed. 



In small garden at rear of house. It 

 is more or less sheltered from all 

 points, but not seriously from any. 



In kitchen-garden, quite exposed.
