    7 degrees higher than usual. The highest temperature recorded in the screen was 75‘3 degrees on the last day of the month, and the lowest 35-2 degrees on the first. June.—The mean temperature was 58'09 degrees, as compared with an average of 58-62 degrees. 1 his month was theretore an average one as regarded temperature. 1 here were some very hot days about the beginning of the month, the highest temperature recorded by the sheltered thermometer being 79 4 degrees on the 9th. July.—The mean temperature for this month was 59'.o5 degrees, as against the mean for the preceding ten years of 60'52 degrees, thus showing a deficiency of nearly a degree. 1 he highest temperature recorded in the shade was *9’5 degrees on the 3rd, while the highest mean temperature was 68T degrees on the same day. The lowest temperature in the screen was 47'5 degrees on the 21st. The maximum shade temperature fell below the average daily temperature on four days. The barometer was very variable and generally low during the first half of the month, but in the last ten days it was high and fairly steady. August.—This month was hotter than usual, the mean daily temperature being 61'05 degrees, as compared with the normal value 59‘34 degrees. This warmth was distributed evenly over the month, there being no very hot days, and only 6 days on which the mean daily temperature fell below the normal. The highest temperature registered in the screen was 75T degrees on the 22nd, and the lowest 45-3 degrees on the 11th. September.—The mean temperature of this month was 55'56 degrees, the normal mean temperature of the month being 56-76 degrees. The month was therefore slightly colder than usual. The beginning of the month was colder than usual, the rest of the month being of about the average temperature. The highest temperature recorded was 66’8 degrees on the 19th, and the lowest 41 '3 degrees on the 18th. From this also it will be seen that the variations of temperature were somewhat rapid.
