IX. PHEXOLOGICAL OBSERVATIONS, CANADA, 1897. COMPILED 

 BY A. H. MAC KAY, LL. D., HALIFAX. 



(Read 9th Mag, 1898). 



In the following tables I have compiled the observations taken 

 at fifteen stations throughout the Dominion from Halifax to 

 Vancouver. Seven of these stations are in the Province of Nova 

 Scotia. Between two and three hundred stations have had 

 similar observations made in connection with the public schools 

 during the year, so that there is very abundant material for the 

 study of these phenomena in this province.* The schedule names, 

 which are abbreviated in the tables, are those of the Public School 

 Schedule for Nova Scotia, used also by the Botanical Club of 

 Canada during the present year :
