CLTMATOLOGICAL TABLES, 



CLIMATOLOGICAL TABLES RELATIVE TO THE FLOWERING OF 

 PLANTS. 



More scanty than ever are the returns sent in this year for this 

 department of our Meteorological Report. If the memhers of 

 our Club would but endeavour to circulate the papers printed by 

 the Club amongst gardeners, game-keepers, and others, whose 

 occupations necessarily lead them to make observations on the 

 matters embraced in this department of the Report, and to in- 

 terest them in the work, there cannot be any doubt that a very 

 valuable amount of accurate information would be obtained. It 

 is to be hoped that efforts will be made this year to carry out 

 this suggestion, and that in the course of two or three years a 

 very considerable number of additional returns may be obtained 

 from various parts of Northumberland and Durham.
