METEOROLOGICAL TABLE,

Kept at Edinburgh, in the Observatory, Caltonhill.

N.B. The Observations are made twice every day, at nine o'clock forenoon and four o'clock afternoon. The second Observation, in the afternoon, in the first column, is taken by the Register Thermometer.

[blocks in formation]

THE temperature continues low for the season. The Mercury in the thermometer often falls below the freezing point, and seldom reaches 50° at noon, with clear sunshine. The mean temperature for the two last weeks in March was 42°; of what is past in the present month, only 41o. The highland hills are still partially covered with snow, but, with the exception of some passing showers of hail, there has been no fall of rain since our last. Vegetation, under so low a temperature, has made no visible progress since our last; and though, about the end of February, it was much farther advanced than usual, yet, at this period, such trees as usually expand their foliage about the 5th of April have still a naked, leafless appearance. In the fields, the progress of vegetation has been equally slow, and young wheat, on shallow soils, has a yellow and unfavourable appearance. The operations of seedtime have, in consequence of the dry state of the soil, been conducted with celerity. In the lower districts, sowing of beans was over by the 20th March, and of oats by the end of that month. On higher grounds, the oat-seed has not been all as yet got in. The frequent frosts pulverized the surface of stubborn soils, and a fine mould has been easily obtained. Some barley has been already sown, and the ground is in preparation for potatoes. The corn-markets have been dull since our last, but of late they begin to revive. Sheep and cattle bring higher prices than last year. Grassparks let for the season have gained little or no advance in rent over last year. Potatoes begin to get scarce; many were pitted in an improper state at the end of the season, and are either sprouted or rotten. The general wages for day-labourers is from 1s. 5d. to Is. 8d. per day of ten hours. Price of oat-meal from 1s, 4d. to 1s. 6d. per peck.

Obituary.

THE LATE ANDREW FYFE, ESQ.

The death of Mr Fyfe, announced this month, will be felt as a matter of sincere regret, not only by his more immediate relatives and friends, by whom he was deservedly esteemed and beloved, but also by the medical profession, and the public at large, to whom his merits as an Anatomist, an attentive and useful practitioner, and an amiable man, were well known and appreciated.

Mr Fyfe brought himself early into notice by an assiduous attention to anatomical pursuits, which soon exhibited the proficiency he had acquired in that important department of medical science.The discriminating mind of the late Dr Monro,a man whose name sheds lustre on the Anatomical School of Edinburgh, and whose fame will long pervade the Universities of Europe,-let medicine and science attain whatever higher order it may,soon led him to appreciate the talents of Mr Fyfe, and with fostering care and encouragement, appointed him to the office of his Assistant,-a situation so congenial to his habits, embracing so ample a routine of his favourite pursuits, that Mr Fyfe felt no after-stirrings of ambition towards any prospect of change or advancement, but continued to hold that situation under the illustrious Professor and his son, for a period of no less than fortyfive years. Thus, while the fame of the Edinburgh Anatomical School, with that of its able Professor, was widely diffused, the fame of his Assistant went along with it, in the warm sentiments of personal affection, esteem, and respect, conveyed by each successive group of retiring pupils, now clothed in Academic medical honours, to all quarters of the Globe.

Mr Fyfe was no less conspicuous for an innate modesty which characterised his deportment, than for that eminence of his professional talent as a demonstrator. His useful Compendium of Anatomy, together with his volumes of Anatomical Plates, begun at the desire of his patron, and by him used as the text-book for his class, has been the closet

companion and assistant to thousands, who, availing themselves of its important and useful treasures, have inwardly blessed the precious manual. Mr Fyfe began the laborious undertaking of his three volumes of Anatomical Plates under peculiarly discouraging circumstances, and which, at that time, necessitated him, in the want of other means, to execute the whole of the engravings himself, for which purpose he had first to qualify himself as an artist. This his indefatigable labours accomplished, and soon enabled him to send forth, to the admiration of all the medical profession, that splendid work, in all its departments, the perform ance of one man. Of this work, with that of his Compendium of Anatomy, Mr Fyfe might well have said, in the words of Horace,

Exegi monumentum aere perennius, &c.

It is a remarkable fact, while it instances the readiness of Mr Fyfe's professional talent, that be attended only one course of Anatomical lectures before commencing lecturer and demonstrator himself. We close this brief sketch due to his memory by stating, that during a long and active life, Mr F. enjoyed an uninterrupted state of good health until within a very few months of his death, and even then his friends were not prepared to anticipate so early a fatal result. His remains are de posited in a piece of ground purchased some years ago, in the Calton New Burying-place, the first cemetery erected there, and where also lies his son, whose premature death, some years ago, it was the painful lot of his family to lament. The funeral of Mr Fyfe was accompanied by large deputations from the Medical and Royal Physical Societies,a tribute of respect these Bodies were anxious to pay to the remains of him who had so long filled, with honour to himself, the office of Treasurer to these institutions, and whose memory they hold in such high and deserved estimation.
