SECOND REPORT ON YAEIOUS MANURES AT CHISWICE:. 151 
prolonged drought which prevailed. The following remarks are 
based on the Tables and Reports furnished to the Gardeners' 
Chronicle by Mr. Glaisher, wherein are recorded weekly the 
observations taken at Gi-reenwich. 
There are, of course, differences in the climate of Grreenwich as 
compared with that of Chiswick ; nevertheless those differences are 
so slight, that in a broad sense the climate may be said to be all 
but identical in the two places*.

* In the ' G-ardeners' Chronicle,' 1870, pp. 731,735, are some remarks on the 
climate of the two places, and a diagi*am showing the very close correspondence 
of the meteorological phenomena at Chiswick and G-reenwich respectively 
during forty years. The reader is also referred to Mr. Glaisher' s elaborate 
" Reduction of the Meteorological Observations made at the Royal Horticul- 
tural Gardens at Chiswick in the years 1826-69," Journ. Roy. Hort. Soc. vol. ii. 
Supplement.
