beyond the northern boundary of our area. Here records have 
been regularly made for upwards of thirty years. For this 
period, after deducting the rainfall for abnormal years, the 
averages are :— 
Huddersfield Cemetery.... 400 feet. ^ 33:00 inches. 
Dalton, Huddersfield .... 350 ,, 32:19  , 
Although from lack of records these cannot be compared with 
exaetness, they serve to illustrate the fact that of the three 
regions the Coal-Measure area has the lowest rainfall, and, as 
stated in a letter to me by Mr. Joshua Robson, * every mile you 
go westward the total increases." In passing over the Gritstone 
area the average rises steadily to about 42 inches, while the 
average to the extreme west on the Moss Moor is over 45 inches, 
while Lees (55) gives the rainfall of the Pennines generally as 
about 55 inches.
