Abstract of Meteorological Tables. 



823 



The Cawnpore table needs no particular remark. The daily notices 

 of the weather are very full, but unfortunately there is no possibility 

 of abbreviating them. I have attempted in some measure to meet 

 this difficulty, as in the Tirhut tables, by numbering the days of each 

 prevailing wind, and of rain. The predominance of easterly winds 

 strikes me as rather anomalous during the hot season ; but I have wit- 

 nessed the same irregularity at Benares. The hot westerly wind is 

 purely a day breeze, and very rarely extends to the night, which is 

 generally calm, or has a light air in the opposite direction.

The error of Colonel Pollock's instrument when compared with 

 my standard in April, 1835, was only — .059. It is difficult therefore 

 to account for its standing so much lower than Dr. Dempster's, and 

 Mr. Campbell's, unless some accident happened to it on its return to 

 Cawnpore. 



The Bancoora series, being limited to two months, will not admit 

 of an abstract ; we may therefore pass to the Nipal tables.
