Compilation Instructions — Averaging Local Phenochrons 

 For "Region" or "Belt" Phenochrons. 



If ten or fewer good phenological observations schedules 

 can be selected from those belonging to any given belt, they 

 may be averaged as indicated in the columns within. If there 

 are not ten from each belt, then it may be better to combine 

 two belts, or if necessary, three belts on the form within. In 

 the latter case the average will be the "region" phenochron. 

 When a full sheet can be made out for each belt, the average 

 of the phenochrons for the three "belts" will give the pheno- 

 chrons for the "region." Finally, the phenochrons of each of 

 the ten regions will be averaged to find the provincial pheno- 

 chron for each phenomenon on the list. This will be done by 

 the compiler-in-chief. 



There is a convenience in averaging the dates of ten stat- 

 ions, which accounts for the ten columns for stations in the form 

 within. When a few dates are not given it may be fair to enter 

 in the blanks the dates from a similar and neighboring station 

 which is not otherwise utilized for the sheet. Great care should
