The following are the instructions printed on the ruled 
blanks for the summation of the individual schedules into the 
sheets showing the 
“REGION” OR “BELT” PHENOCHRONS. 
“Hach province may be divided into its main climatic slopes 
or regions which may be seldom coterminous with the bound- 
aries of counties. Slopes, especially those on the coast, should 
be subdivided into belts, such as (a) the coast belt, (b) the low 
inland belt, and (c) the high inland belt.” 
“In Nova Scotia the following regions are marked out :—

Averaging Local Phenochrons for “ Region” or “ Belt” 
Phenochrons. 
“Tf ten or fewer good phenological observation schedules can 
be selected from those belonging to any given belt, they may be 
averaged as indicated in the columns within. If there are not 
ten from each belt, then it may be better to combine two belts, 
or if necessary, the three belts, on the form within. In the
