Meteorological records recorded at the Observatory, Hobart Town. Also includes leafing, flowering, and fruiting times of a few standard plants in the Royal Societies gardens for the month January 1864. In no month of the twelve, during the preceding seven years, has the mortality been so little as in the present month; and the community so free from those diseases which usually prevail at this season of the year.
