SUMMARY OF RECENT OBSERVATIONS. 



I have left almost unaltered this chapter as it stood in the origi- 

 nal edition of the work. The following is a summary of the result 

 of the observations of the last twenty years, for which I am in-

T/ie Average Temperature of this district, as derived from 

 twenty years' observation (1861-80), is 48*6° Fahr. ; being 

 somewhat lower on the coast than in the interior, the difference 

 between the east and west sides of the county amounting to 

 about 1°. The mean temperature for each month is as follows :
