CLIMATE OF WISCONSIN. 



The following Tables of Meteorological Observations will exhibit, in some 

 degree, the peculiarities of the Climate of this State. It is not proposed to write 

 an Essay on this important subject, based upon these Tables — indeed the short time 

 since they were made does not admit of it; nor is one year by any means sufficient 

 for this purpose. Such observations should be extended over the whole State, so as 

 to cover every variety of local circumstances, and be continued sufficiently long to 

 cover every possible change of season. Each reader is requested to compare these 

 Tables, one with another, and the whole with similar Tables made in other localities. 

 By such comparison man)' very important and interesting facts will be deduced. 



The Society invites all who are engaged in these pursuits to contribute the results 

 annually for publication, believing that they will thus, in a few years, accumulate 

 a mass of information from which all that is desirable in regard to our climate may 

 be obtained, and made the basis of a future Essay on the subject
