Remarks on position, &c. 



Neither trees nor buildings vrithin a 

 considerable distance. Grange is 

 thorouglily exposed on a frame, ele- 

 vating it to the above height. Flat 

 country all round. 



Position very unsatisfactory, in a con- 

 fined back yard, sure to catch drip- 

 pings from a tree in N.E. ; had it 

 moved a few feet as being better, 

 but still very objectionable. 



G-auge in a large garden, quite ex- 

 j)0sed. 



Gauge kept at the Friends' school, on 

 a vei-y large lawn, and well exposed. 

 Glasses often broken and fresh ones 

 bought. 



Gauge in garden of a house, said to be 

 in High Harrogate, but certainly 

 not in highest part thereof. "Well 

 exposed. 



Fastened to a stone slab on the roof of 

 the ftictory, but as its area is 2 acres, 

 the height above ground is measured 

 to the turf, wherewith the roof is 

 covered, and not to the street. The 

 ground level is 95 it., the height of 

 the factory 28 ft., and of the gauge 

 4 ft. 



Sufficiently exposed; .sunk in a pit 6 ft. 

 square at toi^, .sides formed with 

 flagstones, sloping at 40"; gauge 

 stands in the middle, its top level 

 with the ground. 



Freely exposed ; there are conserva- 

 tories to the E. about 40 ft. distant, 

 but only about 10 ft. high. Glass 

 not accessible. Very hilly. 



Gauge on slope of lawn, quite open to 

 S.W. Scale-rod measured at several 

 points, and appeared correct. Cylin- 

 der also true size at the places mea- 

 sured. [Since reported to give dif- 

 ferent results from a new gauge 

 placed near it. Perhaps this one 

 has been stretched by frost.] 



In the garden of the prison ; very well 

 placed.
