Abstract of meteorological observations, Tasmania, for the year 1877. Results of observations taken from the Private Observatory Hobart Town. Includes times of leafing, flowering and fruiting of a few standard plants in the Royal Society’s Gardens during the month of February, 1877. The Meteorology form brought into use at the beginning of 1877 differs in some respects from the former one. It has been adapted with the view of assimilating the Hobart Town records more closely with those of stations in Europe, America, etc, in order to co-operate in a system of International Meteorology.
