![METEOROLOGICAL REMARKS. ] here append a Meteorological Summary for the year. It will be observed that the months from May to September show the greatest variations in tempera¬ ture. February was a dry bnt cold month, with predominating S E. Winds. Measles occurring at such a time could not do otherwise than increase the Mortality. The rainfall is about equal to the average yearly fall, but it will be noticed that after January the monthly fall was lower than usual, so that during the Summer some little anxiety may have been felt in regard to the water supply. The last 3 months register more than half the fall for the year. Although the prevailing winds have been Westerly, we have had more North-East and South-East wind than usual. Meteorologfical Summary.
