Ellery would like Dr Robinson’s manual of anemometry. Reference to purchasing self-registering magnetic instruments. Captain Kay one of their Board of Visitors has given the observatory library a set of transactions. Professor [William Parkinson] Wilson has written to Sabine regarding the Melbourne telescope.
