or the first of June, and the ‘‘ Indian Summer” is well defined. 
Professor Wilson’s observations appear to have been taken at 7 A. 
M., 2:P. M. and 9 P. M. 
The station observations for 1883 comprise the reading of the 
maximum and minimum thermometers at 7 A. M., as also the earth 
themometers in the morning, at noon and 6 P. M., but only during the 
Open season.
