Climate of Chirr a Punji.

IV. — Climate of Chirr a Punji. 

 (Extract from a letter to the Surveyor General of India, from Dr. W. Rhodes.) 



The remark in the Hurkaru, " that the rains had set in with great 

 violence at Chirra," is incorrect. By a reference to the accompanying 

 Tahle it will be observed that, for the last 20 days of the month, 

 the weather has been remarkably fine and almost free from rain. 



By a self-registering thermometer set at the beginning of the 

 month, I find that the temperature during the day has been as high as 

 76, and at night as low as 56. The climate now is very delightful, 

 and surpasses the finest summer months in England.
