The study of climate does not merely embrace a consideration of the peculiarities in the chemical constituents of the atmosphere, which are remarkably uniform everywhere, but it includes a knowledge of the effects of situation, the influence of prevailing winds, the existence or absence of electricity, the geological structure of the soil, and its vegetable and mineral products; and, not least, the habits and pursuits of the inhabitants.
