As there seems to be a fairly | valent idea among the old | of Carada that our winters are © | er now than in the carly days { | settlement Mr. R. J. Stupart, lector of the Observatory, has rect ly given a few notes regarding re- cords of temperature since 1830, | which will be interesting and instruc tive. ' The coldest winter, March, on record at the Observatory was that of 1884-5, when the mean temperature was 18.3, 6.8 below the average of the whole term of . years. The second coldest {was in 187 when the tem- perature was 19.0, 6.1 below average, and the third coldest 1855- 6, with a mean temperatfre of 80.4) 7 lower then the average. In two of these winters all four months | were below average In only six winters has the average of every winter month been below average, and all of these have occurred t.nce and including 1872. Extremes ef Temperature. Again, extremes of temperatures are certainly as large now as they | used to be. The lowest temperatures | oi which we have record at Toronto was 25.6 below zero on the 10th of January, 1859, and 254 below on the Bth of February, 1883; 22.8 be- low was recorded on the &th of Keb- _ruary, 1886 and 21.2 below on the 7 8th of February, 1895.
