deposited between the 4th and 9th reached the large sum of 

 4-023 ins. Of the most remarkable dry periods, the first lasted 

 23 days (8th and 30th March), the second 21 days (May 6th 

 and 26th) and the third 30 days (August 8th to September 5th). 

 On the 20th of October there occurred one of the heaviest 

 snowstorms ever experienced so early in the season which,, 

 owing to their being still in leaf, did much damage to the trees 

 in this neighbourhood. 



Sunshine. 



Taking the year throughout on 81 days no sunshine at all 

 was recorded. The brightest day of all was the 25th of July, 

 when the sun was shining for 13 hrs. 36 mins. 



The winter (1879 — 1880) proved very dull, the spring 

 (1880) seasonably bright, the summer very dull, and the 

 autumn somewhat brighter than is usual.
