Abstract
IT is a belief very generally entertained that the climate of Scotland has undergone considerable change in recent years, the summers being less hot and the winters less severe than they used to be. This idea was advocated by Mr. M'Nab in his presidential address to the Edinburgh Botanical Society in November 1873, the acts adduced in support of it referring solely to vegetation. In this paper the question is examined exclusively from a meteorological point of view, and the examination is confined to monthly mean temperatures.
