From the above table of winter mean temperatures it will 
be seen that the coldest winters of the last 29 years were in 
1854-55, 1859-60, 1870-71, and in 1868-69; and that the 
present winter is colder than the coldest of these, viz. 
1854-55 by 3’7 deg. or 12 per cent. The mean temperature 
of the winter months for 29 years is 3 8 *7 deg. And whilst 
the winter of 1854-55 was 3'6 deg. or a little over 9 per 
cent below the average temperature, the present winter is 
7*3 deg. or 19 per cent below the average winter tempera- 
ture. 
The accompanying diagram sets forth the ratio of all the 
winters from 1850-51.
