Sixth Report (Second Series) of the Committee to Collect and Tabulate Observations on the Climate of Devon During 1886.
Trans. Devon Assoc., 1887, Vol XIX, p. 102.
by
P.F.S. Amery.
Prepared by Michael Steer
The Report was presented at the Association’s July 1887 Plympton meeting. The Committee had collected and tabulated an abstract of meteorological observations taken during 1886 relating to rainfall, temperature, humidity, and cloud, by several experienced persons scattered throughout Devon, claiming that their comparison afforded a better idea of the climatic variations in the different districts than any generalization might. This index provides a record of the observers who participated in the project and identifies their observation stations. The station at Bridgetown, Totnes, was discontinued during the year; and only eight months' observations were recorded from Rocombe, Torquay, due to removal of the instruments to another site. The Report, 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.
