There were two periods of dcciiled elevation of temperature in November, 

 one on the 9th or 10th, and the other on the hist, or next to the Last, day of the 

 month ; and at some of the stations, especially in Indiana and Illinois, the 

 maximum at the end of the month was higher than had occurred since Septem- 

 ber. Both these elevations of temperature were sudden, being preceded and 

 followed by low degrees of cold During the rise in the early part of the 

 month the highest temperature was reached at seven o'clock in the morning, at 

 a number of stations, among them, Cornish, Main<^ ; Worcester, Mass. ; Fishkill, 

 New York; Springdale, (near Louisville,) Kentucky; Eaton, Ohio; Pontiac, 

 Michigan ; Newcastle, New Harmony, Indianapolis, and Vevay, Indiana. At 

 some other stations, as Williamstown, Mass. ; Gouverneur and Skaneateles, New 

 York ; ilarrisburg and Berwick, Pennsylvania ; Rensselaer, Indiana, the highest 

 temperature occurred at 9 p. m. 



The following table shows the foil of temperature in the twenty-four hours 

 immediately succeeding the warm morning in the early part of the month. The 

 first two columns give the reading of the thermometer at 7 a. m. of one day, 

 the next two columns the thermometer at 7 a. m. of the next day, and the last 

 column the difference of the two preceding, or the fall of temperature in twenty- 

 four hours. Only those stations are given where the fall was twenty degrees or 

 more at 7 a. m., except Hilton Head, South Carolina, which, though less than 

 twenty degrees, is inserted on account of its being the only station in that part 

 of the country from which a register has been received. The fall of fourteen 

 degrees at this place serves to show that the cause which produced the rise and. 

 fall of temperature in the western, middle and New England States, operated 

 also on. the southern Atlantic coast. West of Indiana, the stations where the 

 fall was twenty degrees or move, were as follows : 



Hoylton, Illinois, 34° from 7 a. m. of the 9th to 7 a. m. of the 10th.
