a circumstance which not unfrequently made his talent less universally useful than
otherwise might be expected, and enough remained to be clone afterwards.
For India—the Himalaya and Tibet not yet included—I have published the
numerical elements for 208 stations in the Transactions of the Koyal Society;1 it was
particularly pleasing to me to see these researches introduced by General Sabine, the
President, so high an authority himself in every branch of physical geography. From
communications obtained with usual liberality during my last visit to London, partly
official letters addressed to me through the India office, partly printed Indian Eecords
and Eeports down to their most recent arrivals, I was enabled to increase the present
edition of the Indian stations to 246. Those for High Asia are 32 in number.
PARLIAMENTARY REPORTS.
The Parliamentary Reports on the Sanitary state of the Army in India, a work
most valuable also for many scientific questions, had been begun by Lord Stanley, in
1859; it was published in 1863 in two volumes in folio and one volume in 8°. It
would be too long to enter here into those details of statistics and medical topography
we find here analysed, together with the practical military questions; in reference to
meteorology for nearly every station some observations are added, and very valuable
general articles are communicated in various parts of the work; I particularly quote:
Glaisheb, Dr. James, Report upon the Meteorology of India in relation to the Health
of Troops there stationed. Vol. L, p. 781-943.
Macpheeson, Dr. Duncan, Inspector-General, Report on the Sanitary Conditions affect-
ing all India. Vol. II., p. 622-660.
Mabtin, R. M., Remarks and Collected Facts on the Climate of India, on the Geological
Features, and some tabulated Views of the Population. Vol. I., p. 503-526.
Peaese, Dr., Principal Inspector-General, on the Sanitary State of the Indian Army,
Madras Presidency, Vol. II., p. 601-621.
Rooke, Dr., Principal Inspector-General, do., Bombay Presidency, Vol. II., p. 911-918.
1 These meteorological data were also received through Professor Dove's mediation into the Berlin Academy's
Monatsberiehte, mathematisch-physic, class, 197-228, 1863. In the Munich Academy I had given an abstract,
Bulletin, p. 332 to 241, 1863.
