Remarks Thursday 31st May 1792 In Matavai Bay

Land and Sea Breezes and fair Weather. Thermometer from 75 to 79 Degrees.

Employed as Yesterday.

Unhappily to day I had a severe attack of my Nervous Head Ach. I attributed it to my making some Astronomical Observations, and the extreme heat of my observatory. I am never thoroughly clear of the Head Ach but when these dreadfull fitts lay hold of me I am almost distracted. My mind being constantly on the stretch will I fear never let me be free of these complaints untill I return into a Cold Climate.
