Meteorological records recorded at the Observatory, Hobart Town. Includes the leafing, flowering, and fruiting of a few standard plants in the Royal Society's Gardens during the month of April, 1865.<br>In many respects this April has had anomalous weather, nevertheless the general result has been favorable to health and life, and more especially so to infants under live years old, whose deaths were less than one-fifth of the total at all ages. On the other hand, invalids, and particularly those of advanced age, have died in unusually large proportions; those at all ages above 60, constituting rather more than one-third of the total of all ages.
