From Secretary Gilman. OF the Chol.

ton is derived as to the temperature for

peraturs, 5o1s; average temperature Of
the month. 49,; highest temperature.
18th, G2; lowest temperature, 2ith. 90.
To enable all to compare the month with
other Novembers we extract from the
table recently published as follows:
1874 Average minimum tempera-
ture OF November. IS; average maxi.
mum temperature, AZ; average tempera.
turs. 40H..
1916 Average minimum tsmpera-

From the foregoing II will he seen
that the variation from year to year Is
very slight when the month is taken as
u whole. but our last November was
warmer than any We have had since
