Mr Charles E. Hall on 



I will add some extracts concerning the fall of the leaf, 

 &c., at San Jorge, from " Kemarks" in Monthly Meteorological 

 Records, and " Remarks " in Monthly Tree-Measurement Records, 

 which I think show that decrease in tree-girth is synchronous 

 with the fall of the leaf. 



Averages of some Meteorological Records for the same five years' 

 term, hut ranging from January 1 to December 31.
