Abstract
THE NATAL OBSERVATORY.—The Report of this Observatory for 1888, which has recently come to hand, is a somewhat meagre one, and is chiefly occupied with the routine daily meteorological observations. The small record of astronomical work achieved may perhaps be explained by the circumstance that the Superintendent, Mr. Nevill, has recently been appointed Government Chemist and Official Assayer for Natal, that a laboratory was erected for him in the early part of the year, and that he has already commenced his official duties in his new capacity.
