To the Editor of the Mouthly Magazine. 
SIR, 
I SEND you the abftraé&t of my Meteo- 
rological Journal for the year 1805, 
fimilar to thofe already publifhed in your 
Magazine, except the column of Ewapo- 
vation, which I have omitted altogether, 
through an accident of the veffel burfting, 
by the water being frozen, fome time in 
January 1805. 
I had likewifes from obfervation, found 
the quantity of evaporation from a given 
furface to be very variable, and depending 
Thermometer. 
Mr. Bevan’s Meteorological Fournal, 
[April 1, 
upon many circumftances, which IT had 
not‘taken into the account on the outfet. 
It was therefore my intention, when I dif- 
continued to obferve the evaporation (as 
before), to have made fome accurate ob- 
fervations and experiments on that inte= 
refting ‘ubject, and to have given them to 
the public through your Magazine. I 
ftill keep it. in view whenever I may find 
fufficient leifure. 
Tam, Sir, your’s, &c.
