H\int, Commonwealth Meteorologist :—Gallipoli is in a latitude of 40 deg.,N, and is situated in the Mediterranean climatic province. Its climate is. akin to that of Spain, and Italy, and also closely resembles that of the southern coast of Australia. The average annual temperaturo, is 58 deg. F., htat of Melbourne being 58.3 deg. F., that of Melbourne being 58.3 deg. available, but the city of Constantinople i§ also situated at sea level in the same latitude, and only 120 miles to the east, so that the figures for the capital. will closely ; represent thqse at Gullipoli. The chief, characteristics of the; Mediterranean climate are the warm, dry summers, and cool, wet winters. The extremes of temperature are not large owing to the coastal situations of'the countries concerned. A comparison of the average temperatur.o3" during the various seasons, with those of Melbourne will be of interest. January in Turkey corresponds with July in Victoria, owing to the change of hemisphere. CONSTANTINOPLE. 'Winter. Temp., Rain. o Deg. F. Inches.
