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
