The difference between the mean tempera- tures of the hottest and coldest month is °C. at Paphos, °C. at Famagusta and "C. at Nikosia; here, in the interior of the island the climate has distinctly a more prominent continental character than near the coast. The meteorological stations mentioned above are all situated in the lowlands, from 8 to 155 m. above the sea-level. In the mountains the temperature is naturally considerably lowei-; exact measurements during a longer period have not, however, as far as I know, been taken from other places than the camp on Troodos, and also from this station only for the summer-months. At this place, 1676 m. above the sea, the mean temperature was in 1901, according to Bellamy:'). June July August . . September Troodos «C. 21 9 „ ., Nikosia Difference «C.
