Taking the I've years commencing with
1855 70 1850 both inclusive, the moan an

on the 22d June 1855, was 99e, the mini.
mum Temperature on the 9th JAM, of the
same year,iWA 1879, below zeroIs For the
four yoars commencing With. 1855 aud end
Ing With 1859, the average OF rain which
fell Was 3l.4&ineheB of HnoW as. 81 inches.
Il viii be observed that these ObO0r TAtionB
includs the rSmark0ble year, of 1856, in
which the extremes OF temperature were
extraordinary. The average temperature
Of the 9th January, of that year was, llAo,
and the maximum rise OF the fh6rmonSisr
on tue 21d June OF the same year was 99o.
It must likewise DO recollected that these
