The highest reading of the thermometer in shade (53*2 degrees) was regis- 
tered on the 6th, and the lowest (5°3 degrees) on the 31st. 
The mean degree of humidity is 92°9, complete saturation being 100. 
The rainfall amounted to 2°494 inches, the greatest fall (snow) measuring 
0°72 inches. I measured melted snow on the 15th, 27th, 29th, and 30th. The 
great fall occurred on the 15th, when the depth of undrifted snow was 8 inches. 
Three perfect cylinders of snow, equal in diameter to the diameter of my rain- 
gauge (8 inches), were taken from a good situation, and carefully melted. Measured 
as rainfall, the average quantity was 0°72 inch very nearly. The ordinary 
rain-gauge was sufficient to measure the other falls. 
There were 13 days on which 0°01 inch or more fe'l. 
The winds at 9.0 a.m. daily were as follows :—N. 5; N.F. 3; E. 3; S.E, 2; 
S.2; S.W. 2; W. 3; N.W. 4; calm or uncertain, 6.
