REMARKS. 



The weather of the past month was normal in almost every respect, 

 though slightly milder and drier, and considerably less windy than 

 usual. 



We regret to inform our readers that an error in the constants for 

 reduction of barometer readings to freezing and sea-level at this sta- 

 tion, necessitating the recomputation of our barometer readings 

 taken prior to December 189G, was recently discovered by us. We 

 append below the corrected readings for 1896. These it will be 

 noticed are unfortunately broken, from the middle of February to 

 the middle of April so that the average for the year is based on the 

 corrected readings for ten months.
