Survey Pandits at YARKAND during the winter of 1873-74.
REMARKS.
Direction of wind.
MINIMUM IN SHADE.
MAXIMUM IN SHADE.
At Yarkand the thermometers were placed in a courtyard—in the open—against a wall and at a height of five feet above the ground. The wall faced north, and the sun's rays never fell on or near it.
The aneroid barometer was also suspended against the same wall.
The mercurial barometer was placed in complete shade, in a porch which opened towards the north.
On the 20th, 21st, and 22nd of every month continuous. hourly observations were taken extending over a period of 48 hours, i.e., from noon on the 20th up to noon on the 22nd of each month. These observations having been reduced to diagrams, vide body of Report, it has not been thought necessary to reproduce them here.
The thermometers were all graduated on Fahrenheit's scale.
