1890 has been remarkable for very low Temperature during July and 

 August, and for high night Temperature during September; the con- 

 sequence most noteworthy to farmers being the proportion of the turnip 

 crop, which has run to seed, the result of growth being checked by the 

 cold in the first mentioned months, and unduly stimulated later in the 

 season. 



Id the Laramermuirs the flight of Woodcock has been unusually large, 

 and the Wild Ducks (Mallards) have been very plentiful in the hill burns, 

 whether or not a part of these are emigrants, does not seem clear. 



Weather in December has been severe, on the 14th the thermometer 

 registered 15 degrees of frost, being the lowest point it has touched since 

 December 20th 1886, when 25 degrees frost were registered.
