JUNE, 30 Days.
Chinese XXXth Year, IVth 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- nometer 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.
