find the “ belt” phenochrons; and the “ belt ” phenochrons were aver- 
aged to find the “region” phenochrons. In this table the fractions 
are omitted for lack of space. 
The instructions printed on the blanks for these compilations are 
given below for the full information of those interested. The pheno- 
chrons thus found for each region of the province are given in the 
double ten-columned table, one side giving the “ first appearance ” and 
the other the “ when becoming common.” ‘The ruling of this table is 
nearly a fac-simile of the ruled blanks prepared for the staff of com- 
pilers referred to. 
The fourth page of this blank is for the recording of the dates 
of thunderstorms. But the difficulty of presenting these phenomena 
in any compact form of tabulation is responsible for their omission 
in the tables of the present report. 
The following are the printed instructions on the compilation 
blank referred to: 
‘ REGION ” OR “ BELT” PHENOCHRONS. 
Each Province may be divided into its main climatic slopes or regions 
which may be seldom co-terminous with the boundaries of counties. Slopes, 
especially those to the coast, should be subdivided into belts, such as (a) the 
coast belt, (b) the low inland belt, and (c) the high inland belt. 
In Nova Scotia the following regions are marked out: 
No. REGIONS OR SLOPES. BELTS. 
1. Yarmouth and Digby Counties, (a) Coast, (b) Low Inlands, (c) High 
Inlands. 
2. Shelburne, Queens and Lunenburg 
Counties, CE ff 4 
3. Annapolis and King’s Counties, (a) South Mts., (b) Annapolis Valley, 
(c) Cornwallis Valley, (d) North

AVERAGING LOCAL PHENOCHRONS FOR ‘ REGION” OR ‘ BELT’? PHENOCHRONS. 
If ten or fewer good phenological observation schedules can be selected 
from those belonging to any given belt, they may be averaged as indicated in 
the columns within. If there are not ten from each belt, then it may be better
