NOTE.—These Results are derived from Observations taken three times a day throughout the year, viz. at 9.30 A.M., 3.30 P.M., and 9.30 P.M. The self-registering instruments and the
rain gauge are read at 9.30 A.M. for the 24 hours previous. The thermometers are compared periodically with a standard, and the index errors computed.
