the gross total of rain at Toomavara is nearly double that 

 at Monks Eleigh for the year, still the easterly rains at 

 the latter place are almost equal in amount, and, during 

 the Summer and Autumn, much more considerable. If, on 

 an examination of the mean results of many years, the same 

 directions of rain are found to be nearly the same in amount, 

 it will render the subject very interesting to meteorologists. 



** I have added also a plate of the years 1838 and 

 1839, for Toomavara alone; the mode in which the curves 

 are described is stated in the Proceedings for 1838, No. 10, 

 p. 146. 



" On some future occasion, we hope to be able to lay be- 

 fore the Academy the results of many years."
