Royal Meteorological Society, November 15. J. EDMUND CLARK, I. D. MARGARY and C. J. P. CAVE: Report on the phenological observations in the British Isles, December 1931-November 1932. Exceptional warmth again prevailed until February, which was also excessively dry. But the year was most notable for its wetness and dullness, above all, April, May and July. These gave half as much rain again as usual and only three-quarters of the sunshine average. June and early autumn largely saved the situation for field and garden crops and gave a fine floral display from August onwards. Plant events after April to early July were ten days late or more in England and Wales, but a bare week for the British Isles as a whole, since Scotland and Ireland fared much better. The names and stations of all observers are given. V. V. SOHONI and M. M. PARANJPE: Fog and relative humidity in India. Association of fogs with unsaturated air is fairly common in India. Although thick fogs are predominantly associated with relative humidities of more than 90 per cent, thin fogs are equally prevalent with humidities of 90-70 per cent.
