By comparing this Table with that of the Swineshaw 

 brook in the same year, it will be seen that in the Long- 

 dendale district the quantity of rain falling and that flowing 

 off the ground are considerably greater. 



In the Swineshaw valley the mean rain was 49*35 inches, 

 and the water flowing off* the ground 37'1 inches: 



In Longdendale the rain was 55-^is inches: the produce 

 of which was 49^ inches — i. e., the rain in the two districts 

 is as 49 to 55, the produce as 37 to 49.
