A Table of the Quantity of Rain that fell at Auckland, from September 

 1843 to Septemher 1844. 



By making an allowance for absorption, as the Rain- Gauge employed is made 

 of painted wood, and also for evaporation, the quantity of rain that fell during 

 twelve months may be estimated at 31.50 inches. Dr J. Johnson.
