METEOROLOGICAL REPORT. 
—_—. 
[We are sorry to be obliged to apologize to our sub- 
seribers for the absence of the accustomed report on 
this interesting subject in several of our recent num- 
ters. But the fact is that, in the several changes 
which have taken place in the Editorial management 
of our Miscellany, some links of valuable connection 
had been inadvertently broken ; and the clue for their 
restoration for awhile was lost. These, however, we 
have used our best diligence tu regain; and the fol- 
lowing letter, and accompanying communication of an 
interesting substitute, for the present number, will 
furnish our readers with the confident assurance 
that; for the future, the Meteorological Report will 
be regularly supplied as heretofore.) 
To the Editor of the Monthly Magazine. 
Sin: 
HAVE just got your letter, and, 
I fear, as you justly observe, that it 
will be too late for the regular journal 
of meteorology this month. I shall 
begin from to day, keeping and tran- 
scribing one for the Monthly Magazine. 
In lieu of it, I send some observations 
on the dates on which plants have 
blown this year, &c. &c. 
Hartfield, Feb. 12, 1825.

On the present Season. Notes from the 
Calendar, of Flora, Se. kept by Dr. 
Forster. 
Jan. 1.—The sweet coltsfoot, or 
shepherd of Edonia, tussi/ago fragrans, 
has been in flower ever since November, 
and, at present, covers my garden, in 
abundance, like a weed. I have near a 
thousand flowers already in blow of this 
curious exotic. Various plants, as ge- 
raniums, stocks, wallflowers, marigolds, 
and others, continue to flower, here and 
there, during this mild season, 
Jan. 27.—The snowdrop, or fair 
maid of February, galanthus nivalis, has. 
this year come into blow in January, 
and is now in flower. 
Jan. 28.—The crocus, crocus maéesia- 
cus, is in flower already. The red gar- 
den anemony, A. hortensis, also flowers. 
Feb.1.—Pilewort, jicaria verna, in 
flower, which is unusually early. 
Feb. 2.—Snowdrops plentiful. 
Feb. 12.—Crocuses and snowdrops 
abundant. The white butterbur, tussi- 
lago alba; and winter hellebore, helle- 
borus hyemalis, in flower. Polyanthuses, 
ptimroses- and daisies have been in 
full flower all the winter. 
This season resembles 1822 in the 
-early flowering of plants; last spring 
was also mild, but vegetation and the 
Flora were late.
