OBSERVATIONS FOR JULY 1802.

During the whole of this month the atmosphere in the valley was clear, with a sky in general, when not raining, partly clouded, and partly admitting of sunshine. The clouds generally hung in patches upon the lower hills, and entirely hid the snowy mountains. I have marked every day that Emodus was visible. The pluviometer was erected on the 5th. My barometer stood a quarter of an inch lower than Captain Knox’s.

OBSERVATIONS FOR AUGUST 1802.

During the whole of this month, the atmosphere in the valley was clear, and when not raining, the sky was in part clear, and in part covered with clouds. These generally hung in patches on the lower hills, and entirely hid the snowy mountains. I have marked every day on which these were visible. The barometer was emptied, and new filled on the 2d, and stood afterwards a little lower, some air having probably got in, when we removed from Sambhu. A correction of 0.06 may be allowed in the intermediate time.

Day. 1 2 3 4 5 6 Cloudy all day. 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Thunder in the afternoon. Emodus visible. 26 27 28 29 30 31 Thunder in the afternoon. Emodus visible.
