The Teather at Chester during the first 
ten months of J895. 
BY REV. J. C. MITCHELL, B.D., F.R.A.S. 
HE weather during this period was remarkable, perhaps 
even unprecedented—as it has been in some parts of the 
South and East of England; but the want of any reliable 
observations here covering a sufficient length of time renders 
comparison impossible, and makes this doubtful. It is certainly 
one of the most noteworthy seasons which the memory of the 
‘© oldest inhabitant ”’ can recall.

With the exception of February, the monthly range is low, 
indicating great steadiness, the result of the anti-cyclonic 
conditions so long prevalent, which gave their character to 
the whole season. ‘This, also, accounts for the pressure being 
half an inch above the average, giving a weight of atmosphere 
greater than is usual at sea level.
