Barometer.—The height is reduced to sea level, at a temperature of 32 deg. Far.

Thermometer Means.—Deducible from the Maximum and Minimum readings at 10 a.m. of the 24 hours previously.

Maximum in Sun’s Rays, and Maximum and Minimum in Shade—These figures are the readings at 10 a.m., and like the wind’s force, thermometer means, and fall of rain apply to the 24 hours previously.

As the Gazette has been published for more than 185 years, copyright status depends on the publication date of each issue:

1840–1925 (Public Domain): Issues of the New Zealand Gazette and Provincial Gazettes from this period are in the public domain, as the term of Crown copyright (100 years) has expired. Mechanical reproductions (e.g., scanned PDFs) of these public domain documents do not attract new copyright.
1926–1999 (Crown Copyright): Issues from this period remain subject to Crown copyright. Usage of these issues in this project is "Fair Dealing" for research purposes and consistent with the spirit of the open-access principles championed by NZGOAL, ie, "The default licensing position under ...
