1900.
March.
  March has kept up its reputation as a chilly, disagreea-
ble month. The temperature has been quite even, averaging 24 degrees
at its lowest point, and 45 degrees at its highest. 6 degrees on the 12th
was the lowest record, and 58 degrees on the 19th the highest.
Cloudy and clear days have followed each other through the
month, and but few days have been free from wind, the pre-
vailing direction being West and North-West. Snow fell only
on the 5th, 6th, 15th and 26th with a slight flurry on the
31st, but the small amount, never exceeding 2 inches, rapidly
disappeared.
  Yellow crocuses and snowdrops appeared on the 8th in the
bed in front of the Museum, and on the 10th a few squills were
in bloom. The flowers came up rapidly after this, and the
bed was well filled with crocuses of various colors, pure
white snowdrops and the deep blue squills, toward the end of
the month.
