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 April,1871.-
This month though unusually mild as to temperature, and with great aerial
movements, was characterised by high atmospheric pressure, wide daily
range of temperature, defective rain-fall, &,c. The deaths were much
below the average, and with a veiy equable distribution as to age, but a most
unparalleled inequality of the sexes, females exceeding males in the proportion
of 16 to 12.
