54 KEPORT OF THE 



Our records are frequently called for by direction of the 

 courts to supply meteorological information in legal controver- 

 sies. Some needed additional facilities in the way of instru- 

 ments of a better quality, &c, as has been heretofore suggested, 

 would enable us to extend and perfect this work, which, as its 

 value is more widely understood and appreciated, will become 

 more interesting to the public at large. 



Bespectfully, 



JOHN Y. CULYEE, 



Chief Engineer and Superintendent.
