From the above, it is evident that the temperature of the water sixty-one feet 
below the surface of the ground, cont inues uniform throughout the year ; and that 
its apparent warmth during the cold, and coolness during the hot months, is 
merely the effect of contrast with the temperature of the atmosphere. 
VII T. — On the Climate of Bareilly. 
The following abstract of a register of the Thermometer kept at BareiJIv has 
been handed to us by a correspondent, from whom we are always happy to hear. 
He has omitted to state what was the situation of his thermometer, whether in or 
out of doors: from the indications of the thermometer, however, we infer the. latter. 
We would suggest to our correspondent, that the maximum temperature of the 
24 hours would be a useful addition to his table ; or if he finds it inconvenient to at- 
tempt this, then the temperatures of any pair of hours are said to give the mean 
temperature nearly of the 24. Thus at 8 a. M.and 8 p. m., or 9 a. m. and 9 p. m. 
or any other pair of similar hours, the above two being the most eligible. It 
might also he useful to try the truth of this position, as it has been deduced from 
an examination of a register kept at Leith, every hour, for two years and the law 
of climate may be very different in this country. 
One more suggestion we will venture to offer, with the view of makitw such re- 
gisters more useful. If the observer would use two thermometers, covering the 
bulb of one of them with cambric muslin, a strip of which should ham* down and 
dip into a cup of water so as to keep the cloth-covered bulb continually wet --then 
the indications of both thermometers (which should be lmng near each' other) 
being registered, would afford a much more accurate idea of the nature of the cli- 
mate as it affects feelings ; the mere temperature of the air being not always a key

We may perceive, in looking at this register, one advantage which the climate of 
Ca.cutta has over that of the north-western provinces. It is much more enuable. 
the annual range being at the former place 52°, at the latter 83° ^ 
The chmate of eakutta is superior, too, in having less oppressive hot weather. 
Thus the highest temperature at noon is in April 16 Q less than n n in 
May 140, in June 15”, in July H», in Angusf in SeSber 9» „ OotS; fi"
