Art. XX.—Register of Temperature of the Air from the 6th of June to the 6th of July 1833, in a Choppered Tent, cooled by Tatties, at Kurrim Khan, thirty-six miles above Kalpí, on the river Jumna

In order to know the hourly alternations of heat, during the hottest part of the year, in a tent in the Mufassil, or Upper Country, of the Bengal Presidency, I kept a register in the months of June and July; and the accompanying is the result, shewing the hourly differences; likewise the average heat during the month, which was less than 88°, or not a higher temperature than that of a bungalow, or brick habitation, at Cawnpore at that season. However, the changes are more sudden and oppressive in a tent than they are in a house, on account of the thinness of its walls
