Since the above table was sent to the printer, registers have been received from 

 Bermuda, in which the reading of the thermometer at noon and the mean daily 

 temperatures are given. These show very clearly that this depression of tem- 

 perature prevailed also on that ocean island, but about two days later than in 

 the Atlantic States. The mean temperature of the 11th was 63, and of the 

 12th 62, which were lower than that of any previous day during the season; 

 and none lower occurred afterwards till the 2d of December, when the mild and 

 steady temperature of the island was reduced to 63 at noon, and 60 for the 

 mean of the day, under the influence of the same cold which was so severe in 

 the United States in the last days of November. 



MEAN TEMPERATURE OF NOVEMBER. 



By the following table it appears that November of the present year has 

 been warmer, in nearly all parts of the country from which registers have been 

 received, than the average of the month for a period of five years, from 1855 to 

 1859. The only exceptions, so far as shown by this table, are Indiana, Mis- 

 souri, and Wisconsin. At Pomfret, Connecticut, the past November was the 

 warmest in eleven years. At Newark, New Jersey, during the preceding twenty 

 years, only fiv^e Novembers were colder, and none since 1843, and all except 

 three had a lower minimum. At Providence, Rhode Island, the temperature 

 was three degrees and one-tenth above the average of thirty-two years.
