V. — Register of the Thermometer at Ambdla, for 1831. By M. P. 



Edgeworth, Esq. C. S. 



[Having a great many registers of daily observations on hand, for which we 

 have hitherto been unable to find space, we have been obliged to confine our- 

 selves to the publication of monthly abstracts ; but we have prepared a copper- 

 plate, in which we hope shortly to exhibit the daily observations both of Barome- 

 ter and Thermometer for many localities in the same view, and in very limited 

 space. — Ed.] 



I have the pleasure of enclosing a register of the thermometer at 

 this place for last year. The temperature during the hot weather 

 is probably considerably too high, in consequence of the situation of 

 the thermometers in the fort town where I then resided ; but I hope 

 this year to obtain a fairer estimate, as I have now moved into a 

 bungalow, and the thermometers are placed in the north veranda, very 

 little exposed to glare, &c. Finding that there was scarcely any dif- 

 ference between the means deduced from the extreme temperature 

 during the day and that from the temperature at 10 a.m. and 10 p. m., 

 I have discontinued the latter. For the greater part of the year 

 the maximum and minimum are the extremes, according to the register 

 thermometer ; but as frequently I am absent from this place on busi- 

 ness in the district, a native (on whose accuracy I can place confidence) 

 registers the temperature at sunrise, and at half past two in the cold, 

 and three in the hot, season, which I have observed to be the hottest 

 time of the day respectively.
