Abstract
IN a little tract of thirty-six pages, which has just appeared in the Transactions of the Croydon Microscopical and Natural History Club, Mr. Eaton has discussed the climatology of this part of England with a skill, clearness, and fairness seldom met with in local climatologies. The observations of temperature, which were conducted on the same systematic plan with Stevenson's screens, were made at seven stations, these being, in the order of their heights, Park Hill, Addiscombe, South Norwood, West Norwood, Waddon, Wallington, and Beddington. The periods selected for discussion are the five years 1881 to 1885 inclusive. The stations are included within an area, measuring 4 miles from north-east to south-west by 2½, miles from south-east to north-west. The monthly results are given on fourteen pages with satisfactory fullness; and with them are conjoined, for the sake of comparison, the corresponding records of temperature at the Greenwich and Kew Observatories.
