FIFTEENTH ORDINARY MEETING. 215 
little cooler than at Jerusalem, in Syria. In general, it may be said 
that a line from the Danube through Bucharest to Moscow would 
furnish parallels to the climates along a line from Windsor north- 
easterly to Pembroke, on the Ottawa—though the summers of the 
latter place are warmer than those of Moscow. 
By a British standard the summers of much of the Province may 
be considered long. May in south-western Ontario is warmer than 
July at Edinburgh. September is warmer than July at London, and 
warmer than September at Vienna. The vine, maize and sorghum 
fully mature in most parts of the Province south of the 46th parallel, 
and in not a few districts yield as abundantly as in any part of 
America or Europe. The limitations on the cultivation of the vege- 
tals of similar latitudes in Europe is more in the intensity of the 
winter frosts than in the lack of a sufficiently long or warm summer. 
NOTE. 
The length and heat of Ontario summers contrasted with those of other places in Canada, and 
various places in Europe, may be seen by a glance over the following table. The means for 
Toronto, Hamilton, Windsor and Winnipeg are derived from the annual records of the Canadian 
Meteorological Service for eight years (1874-81) ; those for Montreal from same records for six 
years (1875-80) ; those for Pelee, from C. M. 8. station reports for three and a half years. The 
averages for European Stations are quoted from Blodgett’s “‘ American Climatology,” and are 
for periods, with few exceptions, longer than eight years.
