REMARKS. 
‘The thermometer, from which the foregoing observations 
were made, was suspended under a screen, upon the north 
side of a building, about seven feet from the earth, so that it 
was not affected by the direct or reflected rays of the sun, 
The quantity of snow and hail was ascertained by a snow 
gage, and at the end of each storm a portion of it was dis- 
solved and the water measured in a rain gage. e believe 
that a much greater quantity of water, in rain, hail, and snow, 
has fallen, in this section of the country, than is usual, within 
the year past; but we are unable to ascertain the fact, for 
we know of no accurate meteorological journal, which has 
been kept in this Vicinity for years past, to which we can re- 
sort for information. 
It will be found by the foregoing table that the highest 
temperature within the year was 92° above, and the lowest 
14° below 0, making the difference of 106° 
The mean ees of summer was 68°.3

‘This difference is much greater than is often found in low- 
er latitudes. M. J. De Wallestein, from his observations 
made at Washington, D. C. in 1823-4, found the difference 
of temperature between summer and winter at that place, to 
be only 199.6. (Vide Journal of Science, &c. Vol. IX 
page 394.) 
It will, moreover, be found from the foregoing table sea 
the least difference of temperature was betw ween the months : 
july and August, and the greatest between March and April, 
and that the mean on of the month of April was
