METEOROLOGICAL REPORT.

THE weather during the month of December, though generally open, has presented a great variety of temperature. For several days towards the beginning of the month, the Thermometer ranged between 54 and 48; and towards the close, between 34 and 31. The mean of the whole month is about six degrees higher than that of December last year. The range of the Barometer is somewhat less than in December 1819; but the average height is greater, by nearly 3-10ths. Leslie's Hygrometer is also higher by 3 degrees, which indicates an unusually dry atmosphere for the season. The point of deposition, by Anderson's formula, is consequently 2 degrees below the mean minimum temperature. The mean of the daily extreme temperature, is again a little less than the mean of 10 morning and evening; and it will be seen from the abstract for the whole year, that the same holds in the general averages. In the three years immediately preceding 1820, the mean of the extremes was a little higher than that of the morning and evening observations.
