Abstract

OF the series of volumes entitled “Bombay Magnetical and Meteorological Observations,” the present one of forty pages folio is the twenty-fourth. The observations were begun in 1841, and whether we consider the high class character of the observations themselves, the fulness with which they were made from hour to hour, or the long period over which they extend, hey must be regarded as among the very best meteorological records we possess. In the discussion of many of the larger questions of Indian meteorology, such as are from time to time dealt with by the meteorologists of India with so much ability and success, the Bombay observations are simply invaluable; and they are at least of equal importance in the wider questions of the science, and particularly in those cosmical inquiries which have largely engaged the attention of physicists in recent years.
