l*OOLE— O^ 3iETEOROLOGr. 5^ 



The barouietrical i-cadinirs h;ive nothing' mavked to distinguish 

 the one locality from the other ; and the same characteristic is 

 observed here of a rapid rise or fall following each other 

 within a few houi-s ; which is not the case in England as recorded 

 by Howard's Climate of London. 



The mean tcmperriture here 40. 0(5 Fah. is about two degrees 

 colder than at the Albiori ]\[ines, 41.07. The mean difference 

 of the days being live degi-ees colder, and the nights one degree 

 warmer. The most marked difference being i].S2 in January, 

 and 5.75 in Fel)ruary, warmer at night at the Caledonia Mine ; 

 which also accounts for the difference in the total degrees of 

 frost below 32, Caledonia being 2171, and Albion Mines being 

 2470 degrees of frost for the year. August and September are 

 slightly in excess of mean tem})erature, and also for the nights 

 ill October and Xovember, showing that the frosts keep off* 

 longer, and that grains and vegetables would ripen here also, 

 if the ffirmers only paid proper attention to draining and 

 cultivation. 



The relative humidity and force of vapour were not 'tabu- 

 lated at the Albion Mines, so no comparison has been made , 

 l)ut an average per centage of 72.87 of humidity, with a force 

 of vapour so high as is shown in June, July, August and 

 September, shew very favourably' for rapid vegetation. 



The extremes of temperature are much greater at the Albion 

 Mines than at the Caledonia, the former ranging 120 degrees, 

 or from 98 to 22 below zero, the latter ranging only 95 degrees, 

 or from 85 to 10 below zero. At the Albion Mines the average 

 of nights below zero was 10, Avhile at the Caledonia Mine in 

 1867, there were only 7. There Avere more rainy days (173) 

 at the Albion Mines, giving 44.0(^7 inches, than at the Caledonia 

 (147) giving 58.090 inches ; but it Avill be observed that the 

 quantity was in excess 13.123 inches at Caledonia Mine. June 

 was the dry est, and September the wettest month. 



There Avas not any frost in July, August or September, Avhile 

 at the Albion Mines on an average there was frost every other 

 year on one night in July, August, and for five nights in every 

 September. 



There was fewer days of snow (52) at the Caledonia Mine/
