APPENDIX. 



[No. IV. 



TEMPERATURES 



To prevent too great an extension of the Appendix, I have compressed the Tables 

 of Weather as much as possible. The temperatures, &c, are given at length for 

 five months of the coldest season we passed at Fort Enterprise in the account of the 

 Aurora ; and Tables 10 and 11, contain monthly abstracts for two years, from obser- 

 vations made at Cumberland-House, at Fort Enterprise, and the intermediate country. 

 In Table 12, there is an abstract of the wind and weather for 1820-1821, the year 

 in which, from our being so long stationary at Fort Enterprise, observations of that 

 kind were of more value than they could be during our journeys from one part of 

 the country to another. 



These different tables, then, contain pretty full accounts of the state of the ther- 

 mometer, winds, and weather, at Fort Enterprise ; and I have been the less anxious 

 to add those observations made in more southerly districts, because the traders at 

 many posts keep registers of the weather, some of which have been published. The 

 tables are so simple as to be easily understood, and it is unnecessary for me to 

 describe at length, the manner in which they were constructed. Copies of the whole 

 of the Meteorological Observations have been lodged at the Admiralty.
