below 40o, and more than half of these &C.
CURED during two winters, viz: that OF
1879-S0 seventeen days, and the one of
1928 twenty three days. By close peru
sal of the table it will be seen that the
winter which gave the greatest number of
days whose mean temperature was below
4O0 comedies with the dryest winter, while
the winter of greatest precipitation coin
cides with the warmest winter; it therefore
shows that the dryest and coolest, and the
wettest and warmest winters correspond.

Der of twenty-three days having an average
temperature below 400, and only 4 AZ in
ches of rain, while the winter of 1SS0-S1

temperature was below 400, has q total of
23.01 inches of rain. The winter that gave

the one that records the lowest temperature
