whilst a few previous contributors failed to report. In Saskatchewan 

 more interest in the work is shown by school children and teachers, 

 and we are indebted to Mr. W. H. Magee, Inspector of Schools, for 

 seven reports from his section." 



"Excellent schedules as usual have been received from Nova 

 Scotia and great credit is due Dr. A. H. Mackay, Superintendent of 

 Education, and his assistants, for the care shewn in the selection from 

 about 450 reports received from which these schedules were com- 

 puted. These are given with average dates in a separate table." 



"The Province of Nova Scotia is divided into its main climatic 

 slopes or regions which are not in some cases co-terminous with the 

 boundaries of the counties. Slopes, especially those to the coast, are 

 subdivided into (a) coast belts (b) inland belts, and (c) high inland 

 belts. Where these letters appear in the tables they refer to these 

 slopes or regions. Dates for slopes IX and X were combined in 

 computing the average for the province. The following regions are 

 marked out, proceeding from south to north and from east to west as 

 orderly as it is possible."
