JUNE, 1848-XXX DAYS.
Chinese XXVIII Year, and Vth Moons.
The month of June is also a very wet month, although, on an average, the number of rainy days is less than in the other summer months. The ther- mometer in June rises several degrees higher than in the month of May, and falls but little at night-it is this latter circumstance chiefly which causes the exhaustion often felt in this country, from the heat of summer-no op- portunity being afforded for regaining strength.
