Abstract

Meteorological records recorded at the Observatory, Hobart Town. Also includes leafing, flowering, and fruiting times of a few standard plants in the Royal Societies gardens for the month of February, 1871.- The atmospherical phenomena of the month varied considerably from the 25 years' adopted standard mean for February, but were not on the whole unfavourable to health and life. The deaths were twelve less in number than the average of the previous 14 years, and six less than February, 1870, had.
