Fourth Quarter (^October, November, December). — The warm period, 
which set in on 4th September, continued till 16th October, the 
average excess of mean daily temperature for the whole period of 
43 days was 3°*4, and of the first 16 days in October was 3°' 7. On 
1 7th October the weather suddenly changed and became cold and of 
a wintry character, with sleet, hail, frost, and snow, with strong 
north winds ; this severe cold weather continued with but slight 
variation to the end of the month. At the beginning of November 
tlie weather was mild for a few days, then cold again, and thus 
alternated above and below the average for two or three days 
together, those of low temperature predominating. During the 
month of November a remarkable change of temperature took 
place, the 10th, 11th, and 12th days were of a wintry character, 
with very low temperatures, whilst those of 13th, 14th, 15th 
and 16th were of very high temperatures with heavy gales of 
wind. Cold weather again set in on the 17th ; from this time, with 
the exception of the period from December 10th to 20th, which was 
warm, the weather was generally cold to the end of the year. The 
average deficiency of mean temperature from 17th October to 9th 
December was 3°-3 daily ; and from 21st December to the end of 
the year was 3°'3 ; the excess of temperature from 1 0th December 
to the 20th was 4° daily. Upon the whole quarter of 92 days, the 
temperature was below the average to the amount of 1°'15 daily.
