CYPRUS.
Beyrout and Damascus in Syria, and at Larnaca in Cyprus, mainly
through the instrumentality of the late Dr. Keith Johnston, at
that time the Society’s Honorary Secretary, whilst on an eastern
tour in the spring of 1863. Admiral Fitzroy most cordially co
operated with the Council in this matter, and secured sets of the
best instruments for the observers from the Board of Trade. The
observer at Larnaca was Thomas B. Sandwith, Esq., H.M.’s \ ice-
Consul for Cyprus, who was supplied by the Board of Trade,
through this Society with a barometer, six common thermometers,
one maximum, and one minimum thermometer, and a rain gauge.
The observations commenced in October 1866, and were continued
with a few interruptions for about four years, or till about the time
Mr. Sandwith left Larnaca. The results were published from time
to time in the Society’s Journal
“ The following tables give a condensed rhumt of these four
years’ observations, particularly as regards their climatological
aspects, and it is believed that no other meteorological data exist
which can throw a better light on the climate of Cyprus.”
