er:
The significance Of the unusual weather
conditions for the Iast seven months can be
explained oniy with reference to the abnor-
NAL distribution OF Atmospheric pressure
over the northern hemisphere. Under the
doctrine ofaverages We could reasonably look
for an open. mild winter. since the late
spring and summer was colder than usual
and TO connterbalance the deficiency OF tenn
perainre in the spring and summer there
should be an excess in the winter just now
occurring. This, however, cannot be regard
ed as responsible for FIXTURE prophecies, since
the scientific use Of the average can only re-
fer to very prolonged periods, and cannot
safely be referred TO in special short periods,
such as six months or a year. in ease Of tenn
perature and rainfall. Ny personal opinion
is that no one has reasonable ground for pre-
dieting a late spring N the simple basis Of
the present winter being 50 Ear mild and
