Account of the Rain which falls at Bombay. 141 



Art. XX. — Account of the Rain which fell at Bombay in 

 June^ July, August, September, and October, from J 817 to 

 1827. Communicated by Alexander Adie, Esq. F. R. S. 

 Edin. 



As it is of great importance to determine the relation which 

 subsists between the quantity of rain which falls annually at any 

 given place, and its mean temperature, the following very va- 

 luable results, which have been communicated to us by Mr 

 Adie, will be considered by the meteorologist as of great interest. 

 From the observations being confined only to five months 

 in each year, we presume that little rain falls during the other 

 seven months, and that the mean results may therefore be 

 regarded as giving nearly the annual quantity of rain which 

 falls at Bombay.
