May Soth. The eastern winds are still prevalent. Many of the phn have been con- 
siderably injured by them. ‘The cockchafers, however, waich, a few days ago, wete te be seen 
in great abundance, have all been driven away. . As I have not observed any of these insects 
lying dead, either in the roads or fields, it is not improbable‘that they may have passed into 
the interior of the country. An observing and intelligent friend, who resides near me, Says, 
that after being driven away, they sometimes return : such, however, has not been the case 
this year. | am informed that the country people here generally look ior two er three days of 
stormy weather from the east, in the month of May. For the last four years, their observa- 
tions have been remarked to ve correct. 
The walnut and chesnut- trees are in flower and leaf. 
June 5. Those beautisul plants the white and yellow water lilies (nymphcea alba and ma) 
are in flower. 
June 7. I founda female of the Jeptura inguisitor of Linnzeus, on one of the flowers of thie 
dog-rose, i in the same p!ace where, four years ago, I found the same insects. 
The death-cwatches (ptinus tessellatus) ave no longer heard. 
June 9. This morning some of the eggs laid by ‘the puss moth above-mentioned were hatched. 
The caterpillars proceeding from them were of a blackish colour, and about two lines in 
length. They had each two tails, about the length of their body, and a process of conside- 
rable length and thickness on each side of the head. 
Wheat is in ear, andthe bedge rose (rosa arqwentis) i is in flower. 
une11. The Austrian, or yellow rose, (rosa austriaca), meadow clary (salva pratensis), ang 
mal thistle (cardus marianus), are in flower.

The quantity of rain fallen this month is too trifling to be particularly noticed 5 we shall 
give it with the next report. Once only we have had a heavy rain, and it has nes also on 
five other days. Every other day of the month may be denominated brilliant, excepting two, 
in which clouds inbexorperd the sun’s rays for a good part of the morning. ‘The wind has 
been chiefly in the N. and N. E. thajgh arcane gly it has veered a little to the opposite 
pints: one day it stood pretty steadily to the West, and once, we have noticed, stationary te 
the South. 
The changes in the temperature and density of the atmosphere have, by no means, been 
remarkable. . The thermometer standing at 819, on the 25th of May, is very unusual, and a 
_similar circumstance has not been known, in this climate, we believe, for very many years; _ 
‘but the average heat for the whole month, viz.—61° 564, is half a degree less than it was 
for the same period last year, although it is more than 7° higher than it was for June 1805; 
evertheless in the same month, 1804, the average baal wwas 63°.
