Table XXXI. 



Showing the Smoothed Excess or Defect in Days from Mean Frequency of Hail, 

 Thunderstorms, Gales, Fog, and Snow. 



Note. — The mean daily frequency of each phenomenon is ohtained by dividing the total number of times it has 

 been observed by the number of days in the year. Thus, in the 125 years under review, hail fell on 1185 days, 

 which, divided by 365, gives an average of three per diem. But the smoothed value for January 1 is two, being one 

 below the average. The figure 1 is accordingly entered in the table in italic type.
