and another in November. At the St. Bernard the maximum 

 number occurs in August, and a single minimum in 

 November. 



The mean daily amount for the year at Geneva is 0.1069 



inches ; annual amount, 39.0719 inches : at the St. Bernard — 



daily amount, 0.0865 inches ; annual amount, 31.5941 inches. 



The total annual number of oscillations is, at Geneva, 



171.3; St. Bernard, 157.2. 



Geneva. St. Bernard. 



Six winter months 84.4 76.2 



Six summer months 86.9 81.0 



1848 was the year of maximum oscillation, and 1857 of 

 minimum oscillation. 



A number of oscillations above the average at Geneva is 

 accompanied by a less amount of oscillation than a number of 

 oscillations below the average. At the St. Bernard the exact 

 converse of this holds good. 



In January, February, and December, a temperature above 

 the average, at Geneva, is accompanied by a greater amount 

 of oscillation than when the temperature is below the average. 

 During the remaining months of the year the converse of this 

 exists. For the year, a temperature below the average is 

 accompanied by a larger amount of oscillation at Geneva than 

 when the temperature is below the average. 



At the St. Bernard, a temperature above the average, in 

 the months of August and September, gives a larger amount 

 of oscillation than a temperature below the average ; during 

 the other months of the year the converse of this holds good. 

 For the year, a temperature below the average gives the 

 largest amount of oscillation, as at Geneva.
