registered for 24 hours being 0*85 inch on the 15th, 0'54 inch 

 on the 16th, 029 inch on the 22nd, and 0-48 inch on the 26th. 

 There were 17 dry days. 



On two mornings 2° of frost were registered, and freezing 

 point touched on three other occasions. The average maximum 

 temperature was 51°, and the average minimum 40°. These 

 figures are the same as those noted for 1900, but 2° and 1° lower 

 respectively to those of the same month in 1901. 



Owing to the comparative immunity from frosts, combined with 

 mild showery weather, the autumn flowering plants developed 

 better than was anticipated, and redeemed to a considerable 

 extent the disappointment of the preceding months. 



November. — The weather experienced during the month, 

 though changeable, was mild for the season of the year. The 

 first week was fairly pleasant, with occasional light showers. 

 Less agreeable conditions characterised the second week, when 

 the weather was stormy, with heavy rains, the 12th, especially, 

 being wet and stormy. Better weather obtained between the 

 14th and 23rd, though, with the touches of frost, the mornings 

 were somewhat foggy. The latter part of the month was 

 extremely unpleasant, with cold, hea\'y rain. The absence of 

 sunshine was a feature of the conditions which prevailed. 



The changeable character of the weather is clearly indicated 

 by the wide and erratic nature of the barometrical readings. On 

 the 2nd the pressure was 30-10 inches. It quickly fell to 28-90 

 inches on the 9th, then rising with several sharp steps up to and 

 keeping steadily above 30-00 inches from the 14th to 21st. A 

 steady fall followed till the 26th, with a quick drop to 28-90 

 inches on the 2Sth. With another quick i-ise it stood at 29 60 

 inches on the 30th. 



Although there were but 10 dry days, the amount of rain 

 which fell only totalled 2-21 inches. Of that amount 0-32 inch 

 was registered on the morning of the 9th, 0-24 inch on the 10th, 

 0-22 inch on the 12th, 028 inch on the 25th, and 031 inch on 

 the 29th. 



Frost was registered on five mornings to the total of 15°, of 

 which 5° were on the 22nd. The absence of hard frost is shown by 

 the average temperatures being higher than those noted for the
