 For this issue one hundred and sixty such blanks were sent 

 out, and one hundred and twenty-six were returned in time 

 to be incorporated in the bulletin. 



The weather data, from observers in several localities in

 have received them in past seasons, and to any others who may

 make it as valuable as possible.
