Meteorological Notes from Lisbon

Abstract

THE following meteorological notes, compiled in great part from the daily bulletins of the Observatorio Real of Lisbon, supplemented by observations made by myself, by means of a Casella's self-registering thermometer and a good aneroid barometer, during a seven months' residence in that city, may not be without some value to weather observers, I arrived on October 15, consequently the observations for this month refer only to the latter half.
