Mr. LUKE HOWARD's results on this subject, as observed at Tot. tenham, from the 20th of Marc to the 18th of April, inclusive :

[blocks in formation]

The wind was generally easterly, non-electric, keen, and drying. The mean of De Luc's hygrometer, at 9 a. m. was 60°; and the rain which fell within the period 1.56 inches. In addition to this, Mr. Howard observes," the mean temperature of this period is full 8° lower than that of the corresponding portion of 1815. It has accordingly presented a striking contrast to the latter in its effects on the vegetable kingdom; not a single day having occurred in it of that which cultivators emphatically denominate growing weather,' when a moist air co-operates with a rising temperature, (perhaps, also, with an abundant electricity,) to stimulate vegetable life, and make way for the unfolding of its products."
