With Observations upon the Retutms, and other particulars. 

 By John Frederic Bateman. 



Read April 11, 1848. 



^HREE years have elapsed since the last Repott on this 

 subject was presented to the Society. During this period 

 the observations have been regularly continued, and the 

 f-esults are as follow. It is almost unnecessary to remarkj 

 that the old rain gauges, called the Canal Company's 

 gauges, are placed on the roofs of dwellings, and the Society's 

 gauges on the ground, the observations being taken with a 

 view of ascertaining the difference in the quantity registered 

 in the two situations.
