in Hamilton Inlet, even higher. The diurnal range of the 

 summer air temperature in the bays is not great. 



This systematic relation of temperatures produces the 

 result that, though on the coast one can grow, as vegetables, 

 only stringy cabbages and leaves of turnips, at the bay 

 heads, carrots, potatoes, cabbages, turnips, currants, rasp- 

 berries, and gooseberries grow with readiness. The average 

 temperature in summer for southern Labrador is about 

 50 F. On the coast the diurnal range may be from 30 

 to 80 and in the bays from 45 to 90 F. 



The lists (on this and the opposite page) of average 

 monthly temperatures are taken from the records of the 

 Deutsche Seewarte, as copied here from the report of His 

 Excellency, Sir William MacGregor :
