Table III. — -Means of Climatological Observations {with Extremes 

 of Temperature) for the Seasons of 1904-1905. 



The winter of 1904-5 (Dec. to Feb.) was very mild, chiefly 

 owing to the warmth of the nights, the mean daily range of 

 temperature therefore being small. The air was rather diy and 

 the sky less cloudy than usual. The rainfall was very small, 

 being but little more than half the average, but the number of 

 days on which it fell closely approached the average. 



The spring (March to May) was warm, owing almost entirely 

 to the warmth of the nights, the mean daily range of temperature 

 being very small for the season. The air was dry and the sky 

 rather more cloudy than usual. The rainfall was heavy, 

 exceeding the average by more than 40 per cent., and it fell on 

 a large number of days.
