known, the m nyy in a thermometer under cover, falling to 44°, one de- 
gree lower tai on the 8th February, 1835.. The highest temperature in 
any one year has ie "90°, geet the greatest range ever known only 46°.” 
_— it will be seen by the preceding columns that the mean temperature 
the six cool months, from the 1st of October to the end of March, inclu-

ie is he sapcsesly, repeated, that cbservatons by a ‘self registering ther-

with the results of tables formed on the Florida at After all, however,
