Abstract

Meteorological records recorded at the Observatory, Hobart Town. Includes leafing, flowering, and fruiting of a few standard plants
in the Royal Society's Gardens during the month of
March, 1872.
The most marked phenomena in the weather this month were the high
but tolerably steady atmospheric pressure; the warm mean, but very
variable daily-range, of temperature; great elastic force of vapour; heavy
rain-fall; small aerial movement; cloudy skies; pure air; and unusually
defective electricity indications. The death rate total was above the average,
but principally in children under one year old, and persons above 60 years
old.
