The Remarkable British winter. '
Meteorological reports froni the British
Islands show that the comparatively !root-
less character of the last winter was main-
tained to its olosee The mean temperature
of the whole winter ia portions of Elegised,
as given by the Meteorological Magazine for
Mara, was the hignest observed fur Beyond

that the spring opened- • favorably - for
farmers. Notwithstanding the propitious:
whiter, it dues not follow that the:
harvests of 1884 will turn out as well as
they , now proinise. The British
winter of 1881 82 was exception-
ally mild, and a , botanhial journal
printed a list of no less than. one hundred
and thirty plants which wore seen ig flower
during January and February. The -ensuing
spring was not at all notable for its severitee
but the summer -of- 1882 coMiderabler
blighted the previous fine • crop proseects.
The unpropitious • Bummer ot that year,
hoteever, was due to, an unusual 'southward
movement of Arctic, ice floeee TbeSpitz-
bergenn ice fields desponded in immense
quantities to Iceland and its adjacent ems,
causing exceptionallye gold weather in the
British Islands, as the floating fee names

This abuormal ice drift may amain 000ur
this year. But if it . does not ' recur, . and
there is now no clear evidegce that it will,
the comieg harvests in Great -Britian and
Western Enrolee will probably be above the
average yield.
