Thirty-Fourth Report (Third Series) of the
Committee on the Climate of Devon

Trans. Devon Assoc., vol. 48, (1916), pp. 157-160.

by

R. Hansford Worth (Ed.)

Prepared by Michael Steer

  The report was read at the Association’s July 19th, 1916 Plymouth meeting. The Committee recorded the death of Mr. Thomas Wainwright. Further, two stations were closed: Brandis Corner, where Sir Gerald Corbet, Bart., no longer resided; and Postbridge, Mr. Ellery A. Bennett having ceased to occupy Archerton House. Two new stations appear in the tables, Coplestone House, observer Miss M. Pope; and South Molton, observer Mr. Fred. Day, F.R.G.S. Anno 1915 in Devon was, on the whole a wet one. This report extract will (a) provide names of the Climate Committee members, and (b) a comprehensive list of the Stations at which readings were taken, as well as (c) the names of the observers. The report extract is from a copy of a rare and much sought-after journal that can be downloaded from the Internet Archive. Google has sponsored the digitisation of books from several libraries.
