    METEOROLOGICAL REPORT. I am indebted to Mr. H. J. Sargent, the Borough Meteorological Recorder, for the following report and tables : — “Throughout the year 1937, the usual routine w^ork of the Meteorological Station was carried on. Daily weather reports and monthly returns of observations were transmitted to the Meteorological Ofhce, London. Statistics relating to local climatological conditions were compiled for inclusion in year books and similar publications, and for the use of the press. The Station was inspected by a representative of the Meteorological Office on May 7th, 1937 : the various instruments were tested with the official standards, and a certificate of approval was issued by the Director. Table I is a summary of observations relating to sunshine, rainfall, air-pressure and temperature during the year 1937. The barometer readings are corrected for temperature and reduced to mean sea-level. Table II is a summary of cloud amount, visibility and wind direction, based on daily observations at two fixed hours. Table III indicates the units of ultra-violet rays measured by the Acetone Methelyne Blue Gauge.”
