The passage discusses various meteorological and scientific observations from different regions. It covers: 1. **Moyeni, Basutoland**: The mean yearly temperature was 6°9 below average, with October being the stormiest month and April the calmest. 2. **South Australia and Mysore**: Official meteorological yearbooks from 1904 and 1905 provide valuable data for previous years. 3. **Southern New Mexico**: A bulletin from the New Mexico College of Agriculture details climate data from 1862 to 1905, including temperature and rainfall observations. The mean annual temperature was 61°6, with a mean annual rainfall of 8-8 inches. 4. **Germany**: Observations from the Deutsche Seewarte, Hamburg, for 1905, covering ten stations and fifty-six storm-warning stations, show low sunshine and rainfall. 5. **Popular Weight-Judging Competition**: An analysis of weight estimates from 787 participants at a livestock show in Plymouth, showing that the distribution of estimates was abnormally skewed, with a "probable error" of 37%. 6. **Optical Society Transactions**: Papers on periscopic lenses, stereoscopic projection, prisms, and absorption in tinted glasses are discussed, highlighting practical applications and new methods in optics. 7. **Compressibility of Crystalline Rocks**: An investigation into the elastic constants of rocks, particularly calcic compressibility, is mentioned, reflecting the growing interest in geological physics. Overall, the passage provides a comprehensive overview of meteorological, climatological, and scientific observations and studies from different regions and fields.The passage discusses various meteorological and scientific observations from different regions.
