The Meteorological Observations have been carefully made 

 during the past twelve months by the Curator, and reports 

 furnished to the Registrar General in connection with the Eoyal 

 Observatory at Grreenwich, to the Sanitary Committee of the

Returns of the rainfall in the respective districts have been 

 supplied by Mr. J. C. Daubuz, Killiow ; Mr. Lean, Truro 

 Waterworks ; and Mr. H. Tresawna, Lamellyn. These are now 

 embodied in the Curator's report to the press and in the annual 

 summary of Meteorological Observations published in our 

 Journal. The Curator would like to receive returns from other
