WEATHER REPORT.

Tho early part of last: week was wet; the latter part fine and hot.. Bain fell on fourdiye. Total rainfall for the week i* 905 ineliei. The barometer haa been high most of the week, the wean being 29.77 inohei. On the 29th it stood at 30.11 inches. Thermometer mean for the week ii 59.5 Fab. The comet is becoming almost invisible, and ii rapidly leaving our globe. lam strongly inclined not to believe that the preient comet is the lame at the one of 1880. In looking over my notes of the weather for February,lßfco, I fin! that comet bunt (if I may to uie |,that word) to suddenly upon us in New Zealand in the early part of February, to that the first night it was seen its tail covered an area J>f 50 degrees—this was on the 3rd. On the sth it was visible in the S.W., the .nucleus was below the horizon, and at 11 o'clock the same night it was ; nearly quite south 1 from where I .saw it. On the 7th it was seen S.W. in the early part of the night, and wag last, seen on the 10th of the same month, and therefore was only risible in New Zealand not more than ten eights,. And; just as it came it as suddenly disappeared. Another remarkable thing was its orbit was in a direction quite different to the " orbit of the present comet. ; Thisone is travelling eastwards, ,whilst that of 1880 was travelling southwards, therefore, th* inference is, the present oomiit'ii not tl» Tliitor of iB6O.
