284 METEOROLOGICAL P.EPOKT, 1868. 



number of observers increases, the manufacturers will be enabled 

 to reduce their charges. 



The editor cannot allow this opportunity to pass without 

 strongly urging upon all persons, who may contemplate pur- 

 chasing any meteorological instruments, the necessity of having 

 a thorough guarantee as to their accuracy. They should always 

 stipulate that the instruments should have been actually tested 

 at Kew, and not be content with the simple assurance that they 

 have been compared Ynih some standard instrument. The 

 editor will always be very glad to assist any one in this matter.

 Climatological Tables have this year been forwarded by the fol-
