Abstract
METEOROLOGISTS must welcome the reappearance ot the name of Dove among the contributors to climatological knowledge, and the present work does no discredit to the name. It is an endeavour to give a conspectus of the climate of South Africa as a whole; and the author ekes out the actual meteorological results, which are somewhat scanty in parts, by evidence derived chiefly from the indigenous flora of the several districts, which he has collected from the published records of various travellers, such as Livingstone, Serpa Pinto, Fritsch, and others.
