HEAT WAVES AT BOURKE. 6 Feb 1906. 120 deg F = 48.8 Degrees Celsius. Comparatively few deaths have been recorded this summer as the direct result of the abnormal heat — sad though those few have been — goes to prove that present conditions have not been so severe as those of the former period.

THE CLIMATE OF AUSTRALIA. 13 Oct 1868. It is, of course, impossible to predict that any particular year will be wet or dry, but we may reasonably conclude that there is every probability of a greater number of dry seasons than floods during the next fifteen or twenty years, and those whose interests are likely to be affected either way, will, in my opinion, be acting prudently, by taking precautions rather against droughts than floods.

Hot Summers and Cool Winters 04 Sep 1866. In 1709 occurred “the cold winter,” when all the rivers and lakes of Europe were frozen, and even the seas to the distance of several miles from the shore. The frost penetrated three feet into the ground ; birds and wild beasts were strewed dead in the fields ; and men perished by thousands in their houses. The Adriatic was quite frozen over; and even the coast about Genoa. The winter of 1716 was nearly as severe, and a fair was held on the Thames.
