The latest snow in the Spring, fell on 15th May. The earliest 

 seen in the Autumn, was on the 14th October.

Bain fell on 23 days — three in excess of the aver-

 An examination of the table (to be found in the Appendix,) 

 of the mean temperature and atmospheric pressure of the several 

 seasbns during the past four years, together with what has just 

 been stated, will at once show how very little each season varies 

 year by year. The winter is seldom too rigorously cold ; 

 the unpleasant weather, which sometimes occurs in spring, is not 

 of long continuance, while the summer and early months oi the 

 autumn are, with rare exceptions, invariably delightful. Indeed 

 Halifax with its fine healthy climate — with its facilities for the 



Autumn. <
