Mac Kay, Ll. D. 



(Read by title, 12 May, 1913.) 



These phenological observations were made in the schools 

 of the province of Nova Scofcia as a part of the Nature 

 Study worlv prescribed. The pupils report or bring in the 

 flowering or other specimens to the teachers when they are 

 first observed. The teachers record the first observation 

 and observer, and vouch for the accurate naming of the 

 species. The schedules from 200 of the best schools form 

 the material of the following system of average dates 

 (phenochrons) for the ten biological regions of the Province, 

 and the phenochrons of the Province as a whole. The 

 compilation of the 200 schedules was done by Walter M. 

 Billman, M. A. 



Regional phenochrons starred (*) are from supernumerary 

 schedules which are not included in the general compilation, 

 and thus do not affect the more general phenochrons. The 

 nomenclature followed is that of Spotton or Gray.
