1863.] On the Flora of Behar and the mountain Parasnath, 195 
on the height of the barometer and on the temperature of the air 
were recorded. I am not aware of any other observations taken 
during November having been published, I have therefore inserted 
them at length as they may be useful in comparing the climate of 
the cold season of Parasnath with that of other periods of the year. 
The instruments used were a mountain barometer by Newman, a 
delicate thermometer by the same maker, and a good minimum 
thermometer.
