Meteorological Record of Fresno, California. 

 By J. R. Williams, Observer Signal Corps. 



The following shows the annual meteorological summary of Fresno, 

 California, latitude 36° 43', longitude 119° 49', for the year ending Decem- 

 ber 31, 1888. Very much that is of interest, and instructive as well, can 

 be gleaned from these statistics. The maximum, minimum, and mean 

 temperature, when compared with other sections of the State, show the 

 climate of Fresno to be, what is claimed for it, dry, warm, and compara- 

 tively equable. There is very much more that could be said, but each 

 person will readily find those points in which he is most directly interested:
