METEOROLOGICAL OBSERVATIONS. 



The Table upon the opposite page is a summary 

 of observations made by Hiram A. Cutting, A. M., 

 M. D., at Concord, and Lunenburgh, Vermont, for 

 the past twenty- five years. The first six years, at 

 Concord, at an elevation of 1526 feet, and the re- 

 maining nineteen at Lunenburgh, in iMt. 44° 28', 

 and Lon. 71'-^ 41', at an eiexation of 1210 feet. 

 The reduction bas been made from observations 

 taken each day at 7 a. m.. and 2, and 9, r. M. 

 Ten inches of snow has been allowed for one inch 

 of water. 



In i8>i it was vcrv dr\ , a\m\ it will be noticed 

 that the rain-fall was but little more than one half 

 what it was for 1872. ecjually remarkable was it for 

 ex'cessive moisture. Ihc range <>f the thermometer 

 has been from 100*^ to -45'^, by l-"ahrenheit scale, 

 both extremes being in 1872. The extreme heat of 

 Summer here seldom exceeds 90°, and the extreme 

 (old of Winter is seldom lower than -30'^, and that 

 only one »»r l\\i» mornings in a winter. 



The average number of stormy days in a year for 

 this period has been 1 20, and the average number of 

 fair days 118, of cloudy days 127. From this it is 

 reasonable to infer that our time is pretty equally di- 

 vided into fair, cloudy, and stormy weather. In 

 Summer we have an excess of fair weather while in 

 Winter there is an excess of stormy weather.
