REMARKS. 



The weather during October was unusually pleasant and in many 

 respects proved to be the most agreeable period of the year. The 

 absence of extremes of temperature, the large number of bright, 

 sunshiny days, the small rainfall, all combined in producing a most 

 favorable result. The progress of the season was however very 

 noticeable ; the temperature falling below the freezing point nearly 

 every night during the last week of the month. 



The mean barometer was considerably higher than the normal and 

 the range slightly more than usual. The total wind movement was a 

 little more than 80 per cent of the normal and but two gales were 



noted. 



The temperature was practically normal, the maximum about two 

 degrees higher than usual and the minimum more than a degree 

 lower than usual, giving a rather large range. 



The mean dew point was slightly higher and the relative humidity 

 a little lower than the average. 



The precipitation for the month was about 60 per cent of the usual 

 amount and nearly all of it fell during two storms. But seven cloudy 

 days were observed duiing the month. 



The first heavy frost of the season occurred on the morning of the 

 7th, and thin ice was formed on the 28th.
