Hindostan, the broad depression between B&ndelkhand and the Himalaya, as far
up as Aligarh only 750 feet in height, allows one particularly well to study Indian climate
for territories in the interior at some distance from the seas on either side, when
elevation does not interfere with the effects produced by the geographical position.
In its description I am assisted (besides the aid afforded by the numerous
meteorological registers) by our routes from the countries north of the Himalaya to
the southern parts of India repeatedly leading through the provinces of Hindostan.1
During the cool season, beginning in November and continuing till nearly the
end of February, the climate of these parts of India is very agreeable: for weeks it
might be said not to differ materially from the climate of Algiers, Egypt, or even the
Ionian Islands, were it not that the power of insolation, when leaving the protection
of shade, sufficiently reminds one of a lower latitude.
1 For details of the routes, including those of the assistants Lt. Adams and Mr. Monteiro, see Vol. L, pp. 11 to 43.
