Fourth Report (Second Series) of the Committee to Collect and Tabulate Observations on the Climate of Devon During 1884.
Trans. Devon Assoc., 1885, Vol XVII, pp. 187-188.
by
P.F.S. Amery.
Prepared by Michael Steer
The Report was presented at the Association’s July 1885 Seaton meeting. The Committee had collected and tabulated an abstract of meteorological observations taken during 1884 relating to rainfall, temperature, humidity, and cloud, by a number of experienced persons scattered throughout Devon, claiming that a comparison afforded a better idea of the climatic variations in the different districts than any generalization could provide. This index provides a record of the observers who participated in the project and identifies their stations. With two exceptions, all names and observation stations are recorded on page 188 of the Report. The article, from a copy of a rare and much sought-after journal can be downloaded from the Internet Archive. Google has sponsored the digitisation of books from several libraries. These books, on which copyright has expired, are available for free educational and research use, both as individual books and as full collections to aid researchers.
