• The average minimum of cloudiness in the second column, is the miniumm of the 

 twelve monthly noeans of nine years, and does not always include the lowest months of each 

 year, as these fall difi'erently in different years. This explains why the highest minimum in 

 the fourth column should be numerically equal to the minimum on the average of nine 

 years.
