* The Evaporation for 1842 is computed from the evaporation force, in proportion to the respective va' 



ues of 



the estimated and measured evaporation in the corresponding months of the years 1843 and 1844. The resu 



t, cal- 



culated for the mean of the whole period (1843-1846) during which the evaporating force and the spontaneoi 



ls eva- 



poration were registered daily together, is 39-870 inches : — 





Grains. Inches. Grains. Inches. 





Thus, if 19-99 : 30-908 : : 25-8 : 39-87 





t The evaporation in 1843 is somewhat too small in amount, from the gauge not heing sufficiently expo 



sed to 



wind and sun during the first half of the year. 





J Till the close of 1846, the dish was placed on a stool 8 inches above the ground ; since that period, it hs 



is been 



placed on a stand 4 feet 4 inches in height, and just large enough to hold it.
