Remarks on position, &c. 



place this one. Position rather shel- 

 tered, but the best available. 



Fir-tree 30 feet high, 50 feet N. of 

 gauge, and house 40 feet high, 30 feet 

 S. of it, the former having grown since 

 the gauge was ]}laced there. 



Gauge only holds 1-54 inch, a decided 

 fault. Position E. of the reservoir 

 embankment and below it, but so far 

 to the E. that nothing rises 10° above 

 the gauge. In a valley running E. 

 and W. 



Hedge 2 feet high, 6 feet S.W. ; some 

 trees in W. rise to 32° above gauge. 

 Sunk in garden. Glass wrongly 

 divided, being one division short at 

 the bottom. [Fresh glass suppUed.] 



Rather surrounded by vegetables ; sug- 

 gested a removal, about 10 feet. 



Sheltered, especially in S.W., by trees 

 rising to 50°, in N. to 45°, and in S. 

 to 35°. 



About 100 yards from the sea-shore in 

 garden of principal medical officer ; 

 quite exposed. 



[Reexamined June 2nd, 1866, and 

 found in good order.] 



Onsideof slight valley, sufficiently open. 

 Gauge very rough, the measure being 

 a tin can with a glass sUt. [New 

 gauge since supplied, as the correct- 

 ness indicated by these measurements 

 was believed to be fortuitous.] 



Box fastened to a plank between two 

 ridges of the roof ; quite exposed. 



In garden at back of Osborne Place, 

 rather sheltered, especially by a tree 

 20 feet high, 10 feet N.E. of gauge. 



This and the following gauges, to No. 

 113 inclusive, are placed in the gar- 

 den of St. Martins Vicarage, ahout 

 J of a mile S.E. of Blue Pits station.
