In regard to the supposed connection of the weather with the 
hours of the day or night at which tlie moon becomes new and 
full, it appears that in 19 times this hypothesis was right, or nearly 
so, 13, once doubtful, and 5 times wrong. The irregularity of 
these periods forbids their being conveniently expressed by an 
average; but the place of the full moon itself is shown for the 
sake of noticing whether any apparent effect is produced by it, 
as some of the observations indicate a tendency to fair weather at 
that time. Out of 9 full moons during the present year the weather, 
during 6 of them, has rather favoured the notion, in 3 it has 
been contrary. Tliis inclination to a cloudless sky, particularly 
during the time that the full moon is above the horizon, has been
