Precipitation. 



The rain data previously printed up to 1925 (p. 1144 of volume 

 79, Smithsonian Misc. Coll.) were taken at the railway 

 station of La Guaira and Caracas Railway Company, the 

 monthly data from January 1926 to December 1930 having 

 been sent by the General Manager of the Company to com- 

 plete the decade 1921 to 1930. The new table gives the 

 values since 1891 for the Observatorio Cajigal, but to 

 preserve the homogeneousness of the long record the data 

 from the railway station also appear. The new data appear 

 in part III.
