Sej)tember. Notwithstanding we had rain on thirteen days, and the

October. In this month it also rained on thirteen days ; snow on the 8th 

 and 31st : upon the whole, very cold and unpleasant. Ivy in flower on the

 cold days from the 5th to the 9th, and then cold and wet weather to the

 of the month. Sweet coltsfoot in flower on the 6th ; and, in sheltered

 crowfoot, and white nettle in blossom. — Daniel Stock. Bungay ^ Jan. 1 1. 1830.
