Notes: Rainfall observations were taken at Sogi from 1890 to 

 1 9 10 and at Mulinuu from November 1902 to 1920. By a 

 careful comparison made at Apia, the necessary co-efficient 

 to reduce the Sogi observations to those at Mulinuu was 

 found to be .909 and the observations at Sogi were therefore 

 multiplied by this factor so that the series is now com- 

 parable.
