OBSERVATIONS FOR AUGUST 1802.
During the whole of this month, the atmosphere in the valley was clear,
and when not raining, the sky was in part clear, and in part covered with
clouds. These generally hung in patches on the lower hills, and entirely
hid the snowy mountains. I have marked every day on which these were
visible. The barometer was emptied, and new filled on the 2d, and stood
afterwards a little lower, some air having probably got in, when we
removed from Sambhu. A correction of 0.06 may be allowed in the
intermediate time.
