 REMARKS. 



The weather durhig April was pleasant and seasonable. The 

 departures from the normals of the several weather elements were 

 small and unimportant. The large amount of wind from the North 

 was an unusual feature. The small number of days classed as cloudy 

 was exceptional for the season. 



A comparison of the records with those of previous years shows 

 the following features : The mean barometer was practically normal 

 and the range about the usual amount. Large fluctuations were 

 wanting. The high wind of the 24th was accompanied by but little 

 change in the pressure at this station. 



■ The mean temperature was practically normal while the maximum 

 was about five degrees lower than usual. The mean dew-point was 

 practically normal while the relative humidity was rather high. 



The total precipitation was slightly more than the average and 

 most of it occurred before the middle of the month. The snow and 

 rain storm of the gth-ioth was the heaviest of the month. 



The total wind movement was about ten per cent less than usual, 

 the Draper record being 4463 miles. 



The month closed with the roads in good condition and the season 

 about normal.
