(76) Meteorological Register kept at Lucknow. 



Meteorological Remarks and Tables commencing 1st Mag, 1854, at 

 the Residency, Lucknow. 



Site of observations. The Eesideucy Surgeon's house. 



The instruments, arranged^ in a northern verandah about 25 feet 

 in breadth and raised 5 feet from the ground, are as follow : 



Aneroid Barometer No. 10165 compared with the Newman's 

 Standard No. 86, in the Surveyor General's Office, in Calcutta. 



The instrument is suspended against the wall facing to the north 

 and at the height of the level of the eye from the ground. It is 

 perfectly sheltered and protected from accident or violence as from 

 the direct or reflected rays of the sun. Attached to the Barometer 

 is a small spirit thermometer. 



2. — A wet and dry bulb thermometer by Newman ; placed near 

 the Barometer. 



3. — A simple mercurial thermometer. 



4. — A pluviometer of simple construction. 



The site is not very favorable for Meteorological Observations, 

 being almost in the centre of the city, and consequently deprived to 

 a certain extent of free circulation of pure air ; and being surround- 

 ed on all sides by buildings and small trees, the actual force and 

 direction of the wind are often difficult to ascertain ; the condition 

 of the atmosphere and the aspect of the sky are affected by the 

 smoke and exhalations from the city.
