in the vicinity of the Banks of Newfoundland, or along the southern margin of tho ice-field, the vessel mas either within the area of a baronietric depression in close proximity to its centre, or to the eastward of an advancing depression whose approach had occasioned continued winds from the southern quadrants. I t is observable, therefore, in this connection, that the conditions which appeared fttvorable for fog develop- ment in this region during March, 1887, corresponded with those Doted for preceding mouths. The following are the limits of fog-areas on the north At- lantic Ocean during March, 1886, as reported by shipmasters :

The distribution of mean temperatnre over the United States and Canada for Xarch, 1887, is exhibited 011 chart ii by the dotted isothermal lines. In the table of miecellaneous data
are given the monthly mean temperatures, with the departures from the normal, for the various stations of the Signal Service, -and in the figures above the geographical districts, the
temperature and departure for each district. The nor-
mal for any district may be found by adding the departure to
the.current mean for the district when the departure is below On chart i r the de-
partures from the normal are illustrated by lines connecting
The temperature of the mouth is below the normal in all
bordering on the Lakes and Atlantic Ocean, along the Of the east Gulf Etattes, and in southern Texas. The de-
partures in these districts are nowhere very large, the great- est Ocqur in the Lake region, where they average about 3 O .O
the norma], In Tennessee, Kentucky, southern Illinois,
and from the Mississippi River westward to the Pacific Ocean the temperature is above the normal, slightly along the ea&
Slope of the Rocky Mountains aud Pacific coast, and con- Elderably in the platean regions. The month was remarkable
for the extremely low temperatures that prevailed in the southern States and Ohio valley on the 28-30th, the minimum
in these districts occurring on the 29th. The following me some of the most marked departures from
