The following temperature and rainfall figures for January, 1888, by 

 Mr. H. E. Wilkinson, Observer in the office of the officer in charge of the 

 Pacific Coast Division, Signal Service Corps. Mr. Wilkinson has also given 

 the lowest temperature ever recorded, along with the date, since observa- 

 tions began, and it will be observed, in most cases, that the polar wave 

 which passed over the Pacific Coast during January, was colder than ever 

 before recorded. The table is both interesting and instructive:
