On Temperature and Vegetation in the Eoyal 

 Botanic Garden, Edinburgh, during November 1891. By 

 Egbert Lindsay, Curator of the Garden. 



The past mouth of November, although somewhat change- 

 able and unsettled, has been mild for the season. Storms of 

 wind and rain were less frequent than usual, and no snow 

 fell. The thermometer was at or below the freezing point 

 on 12 mornings, indicating collectively 41° of frost for the 

 month. The lowest readings were on the 18th, 28° ; 23rd, 

 24°; 24th, 26°; 27th, 24°; 28th, 25°. The lowest day 

 temperature was 38° on the 27th, and the highest 55° on the 

 2nd. Outdoor vegetation is, as nearly as possible, in a resting 

 condition. Not a single plant came into flower on the Eock 

 Garden durins the month.
