Description (What the record is about)

This series comprises eight volumes of Meterorological Department correspondence registers for out-letters and four volumes of in-letters, as well as some items of associated correspondence found loose in the volumes.
Apart from BJ 9/11 all the registers are indexed, but only by name and (apart from 'telegraphy') not by subject. Loose correspondence found in the registers has been extracted and allocated a separate piece number in this series: BJ 9/13
These registers relate, in the main, to original correspondence and drafts which can be found in the collection of Fitzroy papers in BJ 7; the registers also contain reference to correspondence which does not appear in BJ 7 and vice versa.
