REPORT — 1901, 



Momham. — All readings have been corrected for instrumental error, excepting those of the barometer, the records 

 of which have, however, been reduceil to 32° F. and to standard gravity in Lat. 45°. 



' The readings of the minimum tliermometcr during March sliould'bc rejected. On 10 days the max. .ind min. 

 temperature is stated to have been the same, and on 4 days the min. temp, is entered as having exceeded the max. 

 temperature. It is probable that the wet bulb readings for several years past have been too high. 

 ' Omitting tlie year 1900. ■' Partly estimated.

 (see Report for 1898, p. 4). The dry bulb readings are those of the 

 thermometer attaclied to a barometer. 



The barometer readings have been reduced to 32° F. and Lat. 45°, 

 but not to sea-level.
