BULLETIN OF THE NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETY. 
June 15. — The copious showers of the past week are quench- 
ing forest hres and bringing relief to fire-threatened districts. 
Belated plants have sprung from the ground as if by magic, the 
foliage has freshened, and the grass promises an abundant crop. 
East winds prevail, and there has been no warm weather yet, 
except an occasional day. 
June 30. — Rahis and fine weather prevailed alternately during 
the last half of June. Cold at times. Little warm weather yet, 
but a fine growing time.
