Kemarks on position, &c. 



.0 s 



the glasses steady, and there was no- 

 thing to set them down upon. 

 In a large open field, railed in and in 

 all respects well placed. 



In garden S.E. of the house and suffi- 

 ciently exposed. A few trees, but not 

 high ones. 



On the lawn quite exposed. The posi- 

 tion is somewhat unusual, the hill 

 dropping rapidly to E., W., and S. 

 from the small plateau on which the 

 gauge is placed. 



On edge of lawn, east side of Couiston 

 Water, about one mile from its head. 

 Ground rises gently to the east of 

 the gauge. No trees near. 



On the south side of the valley, ^ 



of 



a mile W. of Troutbeck Church ; 

 the house is 40 or 50 ft. S. of the 

 gauge, which is on the lawn slopmg 

 to the beck. 



On a post in the kitchen-garden, clear 

 of obstructions, save perhaps a few 

 trees. There was no inside can to 

 this gauge, and the water running 

 about the large vessel would doubt- 

 less be always diminished by evapo- 

 ration and the difficulty of poiu-ing 

 out without occasional spilling. 



Gauge fastened to a wall close to, and 

 oOft. above, the river Ouse. Rather 

 sheltered in the N. by the houses. 



Gauge on lawn well placed, and clear 

 of all obstacles. 



The diameter oC lesser tube at top was 

 4^04 in., and the scale (where perfect) 

 gave about ll'o in. for each in., there- 

 fore the gauge was probably correct 

 when new, but it is very old, and the 

 cylinder has been repeatedly burst 

 by frost and soldered up again ; the 

 rod has also been broken and spliced,
