PLATE II. 



This is the ninth annual report of observations made at our five 

 Climatological Stations, and comprises the usual series of tables. 



The mean temperature of Hertfordshire in 1895, deduced from 

 these observations, was 0°-2 above that of the previous eight years, 

 and 0°-7 below the mean of 1882-86. The year was therefore of 

 about an average temperature. The mean daily range was great, 

 being 1°"3 above the mean of 1887-94, and 1°'0 above that of 

 1882-86. The extreme range was great, owing to the very low 

 temperature (1°*0) recorded at Xew Barnet in February. The air 

 was drier and the sky brighter than usual. The rainfall was rather 

 small and on much less than the usual number of days. Boyston 

 as usual had the highest temperature and New Barnet the greatest 

 range. 



The observations are made at 9 a.m., the maximum temperature 

 and the rainfall being entered to the previous day.
