viz. from the 1st of January, 1800, to the end of December, 

 1824. His locality at Carlisle 40 feet above the sea-level. They 

 were published after his death by Dr. Barnes, of Carlisle, in the 

 Transactions of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, and are con- 

 sidered valuable. Having been kept by a very careful observer, and 

 by means of the best instruments then to be procured, so far as they 

 extend they may be relied on, and may prove of infinite advantage 

 to some future observer, as indicative of meteorological changes. 



To enable useful conclusions to be drawn from meteorological 

 observations, it is necessary to have them continued without 

 interruption, at the same spot and under the same circumstances, 

 for a long period of years. This can only be effected through the 

 instrumentality of philosophic institutions dedicating a portion 

 of their attention and time, as well as their ample funds and 

 efficient instruments, to this branch of science.'^ Still meteoro- 

 logical observations have been made by several accurate observers 

 of late years in various parts of the county. Mr. Miller, of 

 Whitehaven, some time ago established a system of observations 

 relating to the lake-district, and it is through his kindness that 

 several of the columns of the following tables are supplied.

* Very heavy thunderstorms in this year. 



* The present scientific labours of Mr. J. F. Miller, F.R.S., Mr. Isaac Fletcher, 

 and others m West Cumberland, and of Joseph Coulthard, Esq., and others in East 

 Cumberland, will, it is hoped, be continued long enough to establish correct data in 

 the meteorology of Cumberland.
