REMARKS. 



The weather during October was generally pleasant the first part 

 of the month and rather cold and cloudy the last part. Several 

 heavy rains, a high relative humidity, and a number of windy days 

 were the most iioticeable features. 



The mean pressure for the month was slightly above the average 



'and the range was unusually large for the season, as a result of a 



high maximum and low minimum. The wind direction was more 



variable than usual and the total movement about ten per cent more 



than normal. 



The mean temperature was nearly normal and the maximum and 

 minimum records about the usual figures. On a number of dates, 

 however, the daily range was unusually large. A number of frosts 

 were noted ; those on the mornings of the 12th and 13th being the 

 most severe. 



The mean relative humidity was more than ten per cent higher than 

 the normal while the mean dew point was but little above the average. 



The total precipitation was more than sixty per cent above the 

 normal and yet the number of stormy days were few. Nearly the 

 whole amount fell during the heavy rains of the 9th, 20th and 25th. 

 On the first of these dates there was thunder and lightning. About 

 the usual amount of sunshine was noted.
