METEOROLOGICAL SUMMARY FOR 1884. 



To the kindness of Lancelot Turtle, Esq., J. P., Aghalee, 



we are again indebted for the^liberty of inserting the following 



exhaustive series of tables for the ten months ending October, 



1884. 



The observatory at which the records are made is situate at 



Aghalee, in the extreme southern point of the County of 



Antrim, at an elevation of 130 feet above sea-level. The 



country to the west is flat, and very little above the level of 



Lough Neagh, which is 2^ miles distant in that direction, and 



to other points the country is gently undulating and well 



wooded. The nearest mountains are those surrounding Belfast, 



distant about 12 miles east, while the Tyrone Mountains are 



about 25 miles west. The nearest point of sea is the upper end 



of Belfast Lough, while the open sea may be said to be about 



20 miles east of the observatory.
