In a very open position on the N. 

 corner of the reservoir-bank, 

 entirely unsheltered. 



Position not good, but the best 

 available. In E. at a distance 

 of a few feet, the ground falls 

 precipitously to the yard of the 

 railway-station. 



At the time of visiting this and the 

 following gauge they were near 

 together, and in the position 

 described in No. 194. Subse- 

 quently No. 461 has been re- 

 moved further inland, in order 

 to obtain a less exposed position 

 and freedom from the up- 

 draught produced by the steep 

 face of the cliff. 



Gauge fixed on a post, in order to 

 obtain better exposure. On 

 pointing out the injurious effect 

 of the beans they were removed. 



See No. 196. 



On a dwarf post in a bed of laurels, 

 ■which had been cut away from time 

 to time to secure sufficient cqsoaure. 

 On showing that this had not been 

 obtained, ooserver agreed to remove 

 the gauge to a thoroughly clear spot. 



See No. 193. It appears, from long- 

 continued observation, that the ex- 

 tremely exposed position of this' 

 gauge prevents its indications being 

 correct. 



In the garden of the Vicarage, and 

 in the best position obtainable. 



This gauge being very much in error, 

 the observer at once decided on hav- 

 ing a new one. This was specially 

 di'sirable, for two reasons: — (1) be- 

 cause the locality is an important 

 one ; (2) because, in addition to the 

 scale-error of the old gauge, the fun- 

 nel did not rest firmly on the receiver. 

 Gauge temporarily placed on a terrace- 

 walk. The above angles are for the 

 position selected. »
