Rainfall observations and natural phenomena in Britain and beyond
Regular rainfall reports from over 9,000 observers to meteorologist B. J. Symons hint at improved sun distance estimates. Reports cover robin migrations, Venus transit observations, cold–freeze experiments, a bright Nov 10 meteor train in the Red Sea, ancient Egyptian dental practices, rabies research, solar corona photography by Huggins, animal mimicry led by the giraffe, sun spot debates on weather, and commercial cures and remedies amid ad hoc notes.
