METEOROLOGICAL REPORT, FOR THE YEAR 1880. 
[ The following report, being of permanent scientific value, is here reprint- 
ed from the Government Gazette. Hd. | 
1. The report for the year 1885 gives the results of the 
observations taken at Singapore, Penang, Province Welles- 
ley and Malacea, and embraces the following meteorological 
elements :— 
IT. Atmospheric Pressure. 
It. Temperature of Air. 
Tif. Temperature of Solar Radiation. 
iV. Temperature of Grass, Nocturnal Radiation. 
V. Humidity. 
Vi. Wind, Direction and Velocity. 
Vil Rainfall. 
2. Annual abstracts of the observations, taken at the 
four recording stations are attached, as are also the annual 
registers of rainfall. 
3. The accompanying charts shew the mean annual pres- 
sure, temperature, rainfall, and the number of days on which 
rain fell at Singapore, from 1870 to 1885. These tables are 
interesting, and gain in importance every year. 
4. I regret that some of the registers shew a few un- 
avoidable interruptions, but care will be taken in future that 
these returns be made as complete as possible.
