The year 1850 has been remarkable for the very small amount 

 of rain fallen ; the quantity being only 17'89 inches, about 

 two thirds of a mean, and less than has been registered during 

 the last twenty years. The year 1834 was nearly as dry, the 

 amount being then 18 "49 inches. The amount reported from 

 Doncaster corresponds with that from York, being 17" 16, the 

 annual mean of both places being nearly the same. At Settle also, 

 the quantity has been small, being 37*69 inches ; the annual 

 mean of that locality is about 43 inches. The temperature has 

 been very nearly a mean 47° ; the mean of 20 years was 47"6.

 29*88 inches being the average for the year 1850. On the 19th
