 staff of observers at the stations indicated, the observations being con- 

 fined to the " time when first seen " except where indicated in a few 

 cases. 



The second table gives the phenochrons for each of the ten biolog- 

 ical regions into which the Province of Nova Scotia has been provisionally 

 subdivided, each phenochron being the average of a few or many ob- 

 servations within the region. Over 300 selected schedules of observa- 

 tions are represented in this summation. 



The schedules of the school teachers who directed the observations 

 at each school were sent in at the end of the school year to the inspectors 

 who transmitted them to the Superintendent of Education for the 

 province, who in turn submitted them to the following staff for criticism, 

 selection, and compilation into " belt " and " region " phenochrons. 

 Tthe critical reports of each of this staff of phenologists were published 

 in the April Journal of Education, 1904, pages 74 to 81, for the benefit 

 of the observers for next year.
