to their growth having been stopped by the frost on the 4th of 
September. I see a shortage of 30 per cent. is calculated. 
November.—Rainfall, 3.24 inches—fell on 21 days. Baro- 
meter—Highest, 30.5 in. on the 30th; lowest, 29.2 in. on the 
27th. ‘lemperature—Highest, 58 degrees on the 7th; lowest, 21 
degrees on the 19th; lowest on the grass, 16 degrees on the 19th. 
The first eight days were more favourable for harvest work, and 
the most of the corn was got in about that time. Sunday, the 
3rd, was a capital day, and a great deal of corn was carted. A 
great proportion of corn and straw will be of very poor quality. 
December.—Rainfall, 5.10 inches—fell on 23 days. Tem- 
‘perature—Highest reading 53 degrees on the 20th; lowest, 23 
degrees on the Ist; lowest on the grass, 180 degrees on Ist. 
_Barometer—Highest reading on the Ist, viz., 30.3 inches ; lowest 
-on the evening of the 13th, 28.6 inches, with a south wind. 
Although the glass fell so low, there was little storm here during 
‘the night. We seem to have been in the centre of a cyclone. 
‘The morning papers informed us of the very severe and disastrous 
storm which had been all round the British Isles during the night. 
Several shipwrecks round the coast, heavy floods in the south of 
England, and a lot of damage by the wind in France. The 
weather during the month was very mild for December. There 
-was no severe frost, and no snow. A cold east wind continued 
-during the last week. 
Considering the weather as a whole during the year, it has 
‘been quite abnormal, cold and wet prevailing, and a great want 
of sunshine. 
Total rainfall for the year 1907, 44.24 inches, being 5. 86 
‘inches above the average of the last 14 years.
