for a sufficient time. AH other documents to which Government has acres 
will be similarly available; and the archives of the India House may likewise 
be searched. There will be no want of materials, though not such as would 
have been obtained by using better instruments on a systematic plan. Capt. 
FitzRoy ventures to think that the documents hitherto published by Lieut 
Maury present too much detail to the .sr Oman's eye; that they have nut 
been adequately condensed; and therefore nro not, practically, so useful as

the actual benefits obtained by mariners, lb fleeting on this evil, which in¬ 
creasing information would not tend to diminish, Capt. FitzRoy proposes to 
collect all data, reduced ami moaned (or averaged) in a number of conve¬ 
niently arranged tabular books, from which, ntn subsequent period, diagrams, 
charts, and ‘ meteorological dictionaries/or records, will be compiled, so that, 
y timing to the latitude and longitude, all information about that locality 
may be obtained at once, and distinctly.”
