REPORT OF THE COUNCIL FOR igiO. 
Meteorology. —Statistics of Station: — Longitude, T 5' W.; 
Latitude, 53° 57' N. ; height above mean sea level 56 feet. 
Temperature ranged in 1910 between 12 F. and 79 0 F., the 
average mean temperature for the year being 48*7° as com¬ 
pared with 47*5° F. for 1909, The lowest temperature was 
recorded on Jan. 27th, when the absolute minimum thermo¬ 
meter read 12° F., while the highest reading was taken in 
June 19th, when the reading was 79 0 F. Thus there was no 
long period of high temperature. 
A Mean Pressure of 29*848 inches has been recorded at mean 
sea level, as against 29*916 inches for 1909. February was 
lowest with 29*530 inches, November next with 29*598 inches. 
September was highest with 30*325 inches, March next with 
30*141 inches, although October with 30*037 inches came close 
behind, continuing the good weather of September, and giving 
us one of our finest “ back-ends." The extreme range of 
pressure was 2*070 inches as compared with 2*377 inches in 
1909 and 2*011 inches in 1908. The highest reading 30*648 
inches was taken on March 31st, at 9 a.m., the lowest 28*578 
inches on November 7th, at 9 a.m. 
Rain or Snow (0*005 inches or more) fell on 207 days, 18 
days fewer than in 1909, and the total amount was 24*64 inches 
as compared with 24*75 inches for 1909. Yet the even distri¬ 
bution of this amount reduced its adverse influence, and we 
hardly think of 1910 as a rainy year. August, July, and April, 
were our wettest months, with totals respectively of 2*82, 
2*73, and 2*66 inches respectively. Frequently our wettest 
months gives us well over 4 inches, and rarely have we had so 
dry a month as September. 
The cumulative totals for the wettest months since 1841 are 
now October 188*65 inches, August 186*57 inches, July 174*09 
inches. The heaviest fall occurred on July 5th, when *92 in. 
fell. 
Observations on the winds show that we have had during 
1910 “ strong winds ” on 30 days, 1 gale, 5 “calms.” The 
chief air currents have been W. (169), N. (124), S. (163), 
S.W. (72), N.W. (72), E. (52). 
We have had 40 days of “clear” sky. against 49 in 1909, 
127 days of “overcast” as against 128 for 1909. We had
