REMARKS. 



Little need be said in comment on the weather of the past month, 

 as it was a normal March. 



While the range of temperature was very large, the average for 

 the month was nearly normal, (about a degree above the mean) the 

 temperature of the first eighteen days of the month being generally 

 below, while that of the last two weeks was from 2^^ to 13^* above it. 



The frost is already well out of the ground in this vicinity, except 

 in some isolated spots, and the season is from ten days to two weeks 

 earlier than last year. 



The bluebirds, robins, blackbirds, meadow larks and song spar- 

 rows were seen in Amherst by the writer from ten days to two weeks 

 earlier this year than last.
