_Registers._--For the particular object in view the register need not be
very extensive. One kept in the annexed form will be amply sufficient.
It should, however, be borne in mind that none but _uncorrected_
observations should find admission; in point of fact it should be
strictly a register of phaenomena as _observed_, and on no account
whatever should any entry be made from recollection, or any attempt made
to fill up a blank by the apparent course of the numbers before and
after. The headings of the columns will, it is hoped, be sufficiently
explicit. It is desirable in practice that the column for remarks should
embrace an entire page opposite the other entries, in order that
occasional observations, as well as several other circumstances
continually coming under review in the course of keeping a journal, may
find entry.

The only difference between the above form and one for the reception of
_corrected_ readings will be the dispensing with the column for the
attached thermometer, and placing under the word Barom. "corrected."
