June

June, the sixth month of the year in our calendar, but the fourth among the Romans. It consisted originally of twenty-six days, to which four were added by Romulus, one taken away by Numa, and the month again lengthened to thirty days by Julius Cæsar, since whose time no variation has taken place. During this month the sun leaves the sign of Leo and enters that of Cancer. Dove gives the mean temperature of this month at London as 61° F.; Dublin, 58°; Paris, 63°; Vienna, 67°; Rome, 71°.
