The few nocturnal frosts that occurred in the present season up to the middle of 
the month were so slight as to permit the Nasturtiums (the tenderest of our autum- 
nal garden flowers) to continue to vegetate: other indications of the mildness of 
the season were equally striking. I observed a horse-chesnut with tufts of new 
leaves and blossoms put forth from the ends of the branches all over the tree; but 
the severe nights, and some frost by day, since the 15th, have put a seasonable stop 
to vegetation. The temperature of the latter half of the period, and the hygro- 
meter throughout, were noted at the laboratory.
