1852-5. Officers commanding the Royal Engineers: Hawksbaw, Hope, Philpotte; Max., Min.,
9V2) 3V2. This very careful series included, besides the temperature, many most detailed ob-
servations on moisture, insolation, &c.

The very small variation of the temperature at Ceylon allowed of my including 1812 and 1815
in the general mean.

B. 1853-9. The mean of this series is contained in the Pari. San. Rep., Vol. II., p. 920. I add

the "Mean dry bulb," but I did not include it in the general mean, as from the combination
of the hours (not detailed) it is throughout warmer, also when compared to those years in-
cluded in the same period for which I had compared the copy of the full details.
