It appears from this Table that the absolute minimum tempera- 
ture during the above nine years has occurred four times in 
December, three times in January, once in February, and once in 
March. 
There are only three years, viz. :—1866, 1868 and 1872, in 
which the absolute minimum has not fallen as low as 20° ; the 
lowest temperature reached being 8°.5 in January, 1867. 
The mean absolute minimum for the whole period is 17°.3. 
The range of the absolute minimum during the nine years 
is 15°.7, extending from 8°.5 to 24°.2. 
The months exempted from frost, or the months in which the 
absolute lowest has never fallen to 32°, are June, July, August
