 58 points; the reniainiuL;' lntals I'an.ycd fi'nni a few jxtints to half an inch. 



The e\'e]onie disl ui'hanee passed oft' the coast on the 5th, and was su])er- 

 seded by a high pressure of small dimension-, under the intliieiice of which, 

 however, no rainfall was recorded ovei" New South Wales, exce|)t at (raho. 

 with t) points. 



A narrow tongue (^f hnv pressure which apjieared over the gold-fields of 

 West Australia on the 5th developed into an enei-gelie distnrbance, and on 

 the 6th was centrally situated lietween Muela and I'^iwler's I:>ay. As it 

 travelled eastwai'd it was accompanied hy light to heavy rainfall, associated 

 with ihunder over the north-eastern half oi the State and in i)arts of 

 southei'ii districts. The heaviest falls oeeiirred at Werris Creek, with 175

 the exception of half a do/en ]ilaees on the North Coast, where light to heavy 

 rain fell, and two <ir three stations in the South Coast di-ti'iets. where light 

 showel's were recorded. 



On the l.'lth not a single station reported rainfall, hut hot sultry con- 

 ditions rilled throughoul the State, due to the influence of a monsoonal dis- 

 turbance, which first appeared in the iioi-th-west of West Australia on the 

 J-!th, and tluring the ensuing iweuly-four liours had exitanded eastward.
