    Exchanges.—A considerable number of valuable technical publications were received during the year from Directors of British and Foreign Observatories, Public Officials, and private individuals. Much technical information and advice was furnished to a number of Corporations, District Councils, Meteorologists, and private persons. The Annual Tabular Results.—With reference to the general Kesults of the Observations made during the year, which follow this administration report, it appears necessary to say but little here. Descriptive notes precede the Tables. I may, however, remark that I have on the present occasion added columns in which the Monthly Means of Underground Temperature at one foot below the surface, and of Ozone, are compared with the local averages for past years; and also several columns containing the monthly results derived from the indications of the new and somewhat important instruments at Marshside and Downholland. The annual statistical comparison wuth other Health Besorts, given on the last page of this pamphlet, has again been lengthened, every Health Eesort in the United Kingdom known to possess a proper Meteorological Station being included.
