THE SUNSHINE OF GUEENSEY FOR THE 

 YEAR 18 98. 



BY MK. A. COLLENETTE, P.C.8. 



The year 1898 turns out to have been the sunniest since 

 observations were commenced by me in 1894. 



In giving you my results I wish to call your attention to 

 the fact that Dr. Francis Carey has been recording sunshine 

 for the same period. I have to thank him for and to acknow- 

 ledge the assistance I have received, which has enabled me to 

 assert that his record does not materially differ from mine, 

 and that therefore I have confidence in offering my figures as 

 the Sunshine of Guernsey. 



In the comparisons between English stations the figures 

 may not be exact, owing to the fact that they have been ex- 

 tracted from the " Weekly Weather Reports," and therefore 

 exact to the end of each week and not to the end of each 

 month. With this exception I believe that the figures fairly 

 represent the sunshine of each place as it occurred. 



I first give a table showing the results for the year 1898 

 at Beaulieu, Hauteville, Guernsey.
