The quantity of rain fallen this month is equal to.1.984 inches of depth: 
The barometer was lower on the 23d inftant than we have feen. it for, fome years paft ; 
the deprefGion was very rapid, and the afcent was ftill more fo; between the mornings of the 
22d and 23d it fell from 29.00 to 28.49, and before the fame hour on the 24th it had rifen 
to 29-10: in the interval a confiderable quantity of rain had fallen, and the temperature of 
the atmofphere had been lowered at leaft 10 degrees. 
_ We have obferved, that when the thermometer was the loweft, the wind was in the 2 
weft ; for five days previoufly-to the aoth, the wind had been in the north north-eaft, during 
hash the nights were accompanied with ight frofts; on the morning of the 1oth the froft 
was fevere the ground very white, and the wind got into the weft, fure prognoftics of a 
change in the weather. Notwithftanding thefe figns, which were attended with a {mall but 
gradual deprefiion of the mgrcury in the barometer for nearly three days, yet no rain fell3 
ten cloudy days, however, fuccceded, during which we doubt if the fun’s rays were once 
feen. 
A beautiful Aurora Borealis was feen in the evening of the feventh. The number of days » 
in which there has been rain is only feven, about the fame number have been remarkably 
brilliant, the reft may be reckoned as completely November weather. ’ 
The average height of the barometer for the month is 29. 39—-more than four-tenths of an 
inch lefs than that for the laft month ; ; and the mean height of the thermometer is 43°.12, 
eleven degrees and a_half fhort of the mean heat of the laf moath. Tf, however, accord- 
ing to Mr, Playfair*, vegetation does not ceafe fo long as the Fie is 40° and up
