6. Comparison betwioen Hill and Vlei (Marsh). — The follow- 

 ing table o-ives a comparison between the hill station at Cedara 

 and a neighbonring vlei for the year 1905. It will be seen 

 that the maxiinnni temperatures are greater and the minimum 

 temperatures less for the vlei than for the hill. The figures 

 for absolute minima are particularly instructive and show the 

 prevalence of winter frosts in the midland vleis. The rain- 

 fall on the hill was greater than on the vlei, the totals for the 

 year being 35"30 inches and 34"05 inches respectively.
