IN the following notes the outstanding features of each 

 month's weather are first described, and the tempera- 

 ture and rainfall observations are summarized in a series of 

 tables. 



January. — The mean temperature for this month was 

 37'07 degrees, as compared with an average for the month 

 of 39*41 degrees. This deficiency was most marked in the 

 earlier part of the month, since the mean temperature was 

 below the normal for the first three weeks, except on the 1st 

 and 6th of the month, when it was just above the normal. 

 There was frost on the ground on 18 days, and the mean air 

 temperature was below freezing point on 8 days. The 

 lowest temperature reached was 22*3 degrees on the 16th, 

 and the highest 48*3 degrees on the 23rd and 29th. On the 

 whole then, it may be said that this was an exceptionally 

 cold January, the coldest period extending from the 7th till 

 the 17th. 



The barometer was below 30 inches from the 5th till the 

 23rd. There were two well-defined periods of low pressure 

 about the 7th and the 16th, while the pressure was very 

 fluctuating in the end of the month. 



February. — The mean temperature for this month was
