Barometric Pressure.— The greatest atmospheric pressure for 
the year was on January 3rd, when it was 30*713 inches; the 
least pressure was 28*982 inches, on March 20th. Thus the 
greatest range was 1*751 inches, but the average range was 1*079 
inches.

F., or about the mean for 25 years, The highest temperature in 
the screen was 81 degrees F., on June 6th; the lowest was 24 
degrees F., on February 28th. The annual range was therefore 
57 degrees F. in the screen. The hottest in the sun was 136 
degrees F., on June 5th and 29th \ and the coldest on the grass 
was 23*8 degrees F, on March 1st, giving as the maximum annual 
range 112*2 degrees F. 
Hot Months. — May, June, and November. 
Cold Months.— January, February, March, April, July, August, 
September, October, and December. Thus the supply of fruit 
was again small. 
Winds. — These were chiefly from the eastward, and, as a result, 
the West of England was colder and drier than the mean. 
Gales have been few and light ; thus few casualties around the 
western shores have occurred. 
Snow fell on seven days * viz., twice in February, three times 
in March, and twice in November. 
Hail was experienced on March 20th and on October 12th 
very heavily.
