The Spring and Summer of J8935 at 
Coitwyn Bay. 
BY ALFRED O. WALKER,,  F.L.S. 
VHE weather during the six months, beginning with March 
of this year, has been so remarkable, that it would be 
unfortunate if the number of the Proceedings of the Chester Sociely 
of Natural Scwence, now in the press, were to appear without 
some notice of it. 
After a January, of which the first half was cold, with a good 
deal of snow, and a February which, though wet, was not so to 
anything like the same extent as in the south of England, a 
period of drought set in. The total rainfall for each month 
will be seen from the annexed table, but the Society’s District 
was fortunate in having the drought mitigated by rain, which 
occurred at the following periods at Colwyn Bay :— 
April 16th and 17th wi .« 0°49 inches.

From the last date the drought may be considered as ended in 
this district. 
As regards temperature, the only periods in which it exceeded 
80° were :-—
