and the hiberno-sestival difference is under 20°. According to 

 Mr. Abbey's observations for Bradford, extending over a period 

 of ten recent years, the mean annual temperature is 48 -3, that 

 of Summer 607 and that of Winter 36-3, which gives a hiberno- 

 aestival difference just one degree higher than that of York. In 

 the south-west of Cornwall the hiberno-sestival difference sinks 

 down to 17 or 16, in Mr. Watson's East Highland province it is 

 21]^ upon the average of nine stations, and for the North coast 

 of Scotland and its outlying islands upon an average of four 

 stations it sinks to 15. 



The difference between a conthiental and an nisidar climate, 

 and the influence which proximity to the sea exercises in reducing 

 the hiberno-sestival difference by cutting down the extremes both 

 of Summer and Winter temperature, will be best shewn by a table 

 of parallel data to those contained in our last table for a few 

 stations selected in different parts of the European Continent. 

 The temperatures are given upon the authority of Henfrey's 

 'Vegetation of Europe.'
