8 ADMINISTRATION REPORT OP THJB PEUSIAN GULP POL1TI0AL

Observatory.

The recorded observations are summarised in tables, Appendix A.
The summer of 1881 was on the whole favourable. The “ Barit* *
monsoon (Burra ShemaC) set in in the end of May, and blew with occa­
sional intermissions for six weeks. /
The autumn, wiuter, and spring rains, though perhaps below the aver­
age in quantity, were seasonable for cultivation.
