equal in No. 8, but in No. 92, which was interfered with by

 the first (43*5, 5 6 '5). May had slightly the advantage of 

 June in No. 8, but June was very much above May in No. 92. 

 Both showed a great depression in July below June and August. 



Ahics grandis. The second half-season greatly exceeded 

 the first (33 and 67 p.c). The proportion for August, 27 

 p.c, was highest, and it is singular that the p.c. for May, 

 July, and September, 19'5, 20, and 20 p.c, should be almost 

 equal. The average amounts also were large, 0'40 for 

 August, 0-29 for May, and 0'30 for July and September. 

 But June showed a great depression, having a p.c. of only 7"5, 

 or little more than a third of the p.c. of May on the one side, 

 and July on the other. This depression took place every year. 



A. Hoohcrimia. The half-season increases were nearly 

 equal. June was by far the best month, with 42*5 p.c. 

 There was no increase in April, and that of May, 8 "5 p.c, 

 was very low for an evergreen.
