From whence it appears, that in 56 years June was five times the hottest month, 
July thirty-six times, and August fifteen times.* 
39. If we make asimilar comparison for the coldest month of the year, we shall 
find it to range over no less than five calendar months from November to March. 
In the following Table it is to be observed, that when November or December is 
set down as the coldest month, it means that it was colder than the immediately 
succeeding January, February, or March. [In Tables III. and IX. the monthly 
ranges are those strictly included within the year. |

* Reducing Mr GraisuEr’s numbers for Greenwich in proportion to the number of years, they 
would give—June 33, July 33, August 174, September 2. The maximum occurs, therefore, later at 
Greenwich that at Edinburgh.
