1913.] SUNSHINE OF GUERNSEY. 91 



The records of the year were made in April and October. 

 April, which was IT hours below its previous lowest, and 

 October, which had an excess of 2 hours over its previous 

 record. The fact that October has broken its own record 

 three times since 1908 helps to prove that while the Summer 

 sunshine has been growing less, that of the Autumn has 

 gained ground. 



The sunless days were 4 above the average, but so small 

 an increase with so large a falling off of sunshine is indicative 

 of a shortening of the daily totals, hence we are not surprised 

 to see that the mean daily values are 4*6 hrs. instead of 5*2 hrs.
