 The theory by which the author accounts for these facts is founded on the and character Of at mosphsric currents but could not reproduce 1t here without occupying too much space.
 There is nothing anomalous extraordinary in the meteorological character of the month. 1t IS comparatively very mild-just as it to be, and was expected It would have been an anomaly il 1t had been otherwise. This requires expl nation.

Thus the latter part of the decade between 1880 and 1840 substantially a rcdupilcaion ot that from 1910 to 1920; and it was to be expected that the latter part of the present decade would sub- stantaily resemble that of 1880 to 1840, as it ha: done.
