IX.—PHENOLOGICAL OBSERVATIONS, CANADA, 1897. COMPILED 
BY As H.. MacKay, Tas ELA LTnReX. 
(Read 9th Mag, 1898). 
In the following tables I have compiled the observations taken 
at fifteen stations throughout the Dominion from Halifax to 
Vancouver. Seven of these stations are in the Province of Nova 
Scotia. Between two and three hundred stations have had 
similar observations made in connection with the public schools 
during the year, so that there is very abundant material for the 
study of these phenomena in this province.* The schedule names, 
which are abbreviated in the tables, are those of the Public School 
Schedule for Nova Scotia, used also by the Botanical Club of 
Canada during the present year :—
