 [underlined]Sunday[underlined]  The weather practically presents no variations   
                      from day to day and the temperature is almost equally                                            
                      regular. At daybreak the air is fresh and cool but                                                    
                      wholly without chilliness. As the sun rises higher and                                             
                      higher it quickly warms the open spaces but in                                                       
                      the woods the coolness continues fo rtwo hours or more
                      after sunrise. Up to eight o'clock there is rarely or
                      never any wind but the trade begins regularly within
                      ten minutes of that hour and continues through the
                      remainder of the day, usually blowing hardest (in
                      strong puffs or squalls) at about 3 P.M., ordinarily
                      dying wholly away a little before sunset but sometimes
                      continuing well into the night or [?using] at 8 or 9 P.M.
                      after an interval of several hours of calm. The
                      coolest and - all things considered - pleasantest part
                      of the day from four to six P.M. The nights
                      are always cool if one is sitting quietly on the
                      verandah but the air is really close and very humid
                      and a slight amount of vigorous exercise brings
                      profuse perspiration.
[margin]General 
observations
on climate,
temperature,
etc.
                            The birds are most active and noisy from
                      sunrise to about 9 A.M. and from 3 P.M. to
                      sunset but there are frequent an dto me wholly 
                      inexplicable exceptions to this rule. Thus on some
                      mornings the woods seem almsot deserted and 
                      there is scarcely a call in the cocoa grove
                      up to ten o'clock after which until noon birds
                      of many kinds are very conspicuous and noisy.
                      There is, I think, less singing and calling at
                       sunset when we hear the Tinamon & Coqbois most.
