  <dc:title>Magnetic and meteorological observations at the Trivandrum Magnetic Observatory, India, by John Caldecott</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Tables of daily observations made at Trivandrum [Thiruvananthapuram], Kerala, generally at two hourly intervals, commencing with: the declination magnetometer; horizontal force magnetometer and its thermometer [commencing on 22 June]; vertical force magnetometer and its thermometer [commencing on 24 June]. With readings from: an uncorrected barometer; its attached thermometer; dry and wet thermometers. These are followed by: detailed observations of computed temperature of dew point and tension of vapour [on unused tables for electrometer observations]; temperature of dew point, elasticity of vapour; maximum and minimum temperature, solar and terrestrial radiation [from 25 June] and Moon's age; corrected barometer; and an abstract of daily triple observations of the magnetometers [with correspondingly limited readings from the vertical and horizontal force instruments]. The daily amount of rainfall is noted.
