Ox Temperature and Vegetation in the Botanic 

 Garden, Glasgow, during February 1892. By Kobert 

 BuLLEN, Curator of the Garden. 



The unusually mild weather which prevailed at the end 

 of last month became very boisterous on the first week of 

 this month, showers of snow and sleet were frequent, and 

 on the first four nights frost was registered. 



The second week was remarkable for the fine summer 

 weather experienced. From the 9th to the 13th the mean 

 temperature both day and night was very high for the season; 

 67° was registered in the sun on the loth. 



The third week was the most winterly we have had. 

 Snow fell on the 15th, and a heavy fall took place during 

 the night of the 16th. Night frosts prevailed the whole week, 

 and of the 56° recorded as being the total for the month, 34° 

 was registered during the nights of the 17th, 18th, and 19th. 

 The lowest day reacting was 34°, on the 19th. With the 

 exception of cold north and east winds, the last week was 

 comparatively mild. The leaf-buds of most hardy shrubs 

 are in an advanced state.
