Kitclie, of Adelong, has been good enough to draw my attention to the fact that during last December great numbers of _ icebergs were sighted in unusually low south/ latitudes by ocean ships, and he Su C !s' le f. of similar conditions i, i unn ? th ® first quarter of which year we had nearly 21 inches of rain. Of course, it .is a fact m climatology that seas • the 7loinitjr of iccbor 6 s are : c ? ol6d b y their, presence, and fogs and rain- ■ tl on ij ?,® n ? rate , d as ttey melt away. It may .be added also that, as the.first three months ol this year have been colder than usual, ■so the corresponding period of 1894 had a lower temperature., Mr. Ritchie deduces the STi ?
