The quantity of rain fallen fince the laf Report, is equal to 0.556 mchesin depth. 
Tn looking over the journal for the laf month, we find nothing remarkable to have hap- 
pened in meteorology. The barometer and thermometer have been high, and the varia- 
tions in them but trifling ; the average height of the former is 30.025 inches ; of the latter, . 
is nearly 68°. For cur climate the heat of the weather tothe 18th inclufive, was greater tham 
ufual; but on the four fucceeding days the cold was fenfibly felt ; the wind being northerly. 
it will be feen above that the quantity of rain fallen is very fmali, and, excepting the days _ 
when that fell, the weather has been fine, and well adapted to the bufinefs of harvett. 
According to. Mr. Kirwan, the mean height of the barometer at Dublin, for the year 
4800, was 29.978 ; of the thermometer,47°.819, and the quantity of ram falien was equal 
to 23.567 inches in depth. ie“ 
Forthe year 1801, the mean height of the barometer was 30.032 ; of the thermometer, 
49°.273; and the quantity of rain was equal 21.965 inches4n depth. 
From the meteorological obfervations made at Londonderry, in the year 1800, by” Dr. 
William Paterfon, it appears thatibe mean height of the barometer was for that year 29.825 
of the thermometer, (September not included,) 49°.75 :—or De Luc’s hygrometer, 42:8195 - 
and the quantity of rain was equal to 29.226 inches in depth. ee

THE SUPPLEMENTARY NUMBER. 
THE Publifher bas received complaints from a great number of perfons, at dif- 
ferent times, deferibing the dificilty which is experienced in preeiiring the Supplemen- 
tary Number at the time of its-publication, and finds that he is afually blamed as a 
party concerned in occafioning the difappointment ; but. as he aljo fuftams a periodical 
lofs from the fame caufe, be at length confiders it bis duty to fate that the irregular de- 
liwery 2s felely the fault of ibe Country Bookfellers, or of their Correfpondents ia Lon-, 
doa. If every Bookfeller refiding ia the country avere to infift on the regular tranf- 
mijkon of the Supplement io the Monthiy Magazine at the time it is publifoed, much . 
inconvenience and lofs would be obviated, not only to the Publifoer, but alfo to the 
' purchafers, whofe fetts, for want of the Supplement, are lift incomplete, and whe 
‘are thus deprived of the perufal of a-valuable and necefary part of our Mifcellany.”
