ing nearly 160 degrees. The extremes between this last and our winter’s cold, when the thermometer descended to 24 degrees was 133 degrees. I observe that Sir Thomas Mitchell gives the temperature at the Bogan, in his tent at 117 degrees and when exposed to the wind at 129 degrees; but I presume that local causes, such as radiation from stones and sand, operated more Ostaa Halpa Nike Free 4.0 powerfully with us than in his case. Whilst we were at the Depot about May, the water of the creek became slightly putrid, and cleared itself like Thames water; and during the hotter months of our stay there, it evaporated at the rate of nearly Scarpe Nike Air Max 2014 Uomo an inch a day, as shewn by a rod Mr. Browne placed in it to note the changes, but the Kansas City Chiefs Tröjor amount varied according to the quiescent or boisterous state of the atmosphere. It will readily be believed that in so heated a region the air was seldom still; to the currents sweeping over it we had to attribute the loathsome and Spania Fotballtrøyer Damer Drakt muddy state of the water on which we generally subsisted after we left that place, for the pools from which we took it were so shallow as to be stirred up to the consistency of white-wash by the play and action of the wind on their surfaces. During our stay at the Depot the barometer never rose above 30.260, or fell below 29.540.
From December, 1844, to the end of April of the following year, the prevailing winds were from E.N.E. to E.S.E., after that month they were variable, but westerly David Silva Drakt winds predominated. The south wind was always cold, and its approach was invariably indicated by Scarpe Nike Lunar Donna the rise of the barometer.
The rain of July commenced in the north-east quarter and gradually went round to the north-west; but more clouds rose from the former point than from any other. The sky generally speaking was without a speck, and the dazzling brightness of the moon was one of the most distressing things we had to endure when out in the bush. It was impossible indeed to shut out its light which ever way Atlanta Falcons Tröjor one turned, and its irritating effects were remarkable.
