The mean temperature for three yeai-s, 47.7. 



The mean annual rain fall for three years, 119.7 inches. 



I have no recent data by me with which to compare the record of 

 the Neeah Bay station with other stations in Washington Territory 

 and Oregon, but from the Amny Meteorological Register from 1852 to

Fort Orford, Oregon, from 1852 to 1855, inclusive. 5 years 

 Fort Vancouver, W. T., from 1849 to 1855, inclusive. 7 years 

 Fort Dalles, W. T., from 1850 to 1855, inclusive. 6 years . . 

 Fort Steilacoom, W. T., from 1849 to 1855, inclusive. 7 years. 



Add to this my record kept at 

 Neeah Bay, W. T., from 1863 to 18S5, inclusive. 3 years. . .
