THE RAINFALL OF CLEVELAND. 



By Rev. John Hawell, M.A., F.G.S, 



Since the beginning of 1884 I have kept a daily record of 

 the Rainfall in the Vicarage Garden at Ingleby, and I herewith 

 give the totals for the various years, and for comparison the 

 amounts registered in the Albert Park, Middlesbrough, as kindly 

 furnished by Mr. Amos Hinton. 



It would be interesting in a future number of our Proceedings 

 to discuss more at length the Rainfall of Cleveland as a whole, 

 bringing together all available observations from every part of 

 the District. The fall at Ingleby Manor, half a mile nearer to 

 the hills than the Vicarage, is regularly less than the amount 

 registered at the Vicarage, while the fall at Easby Hall is less. 

 At the time of his lamented death I was in correspondence with 

 the late Mr. G. J. Symons with a view to the establishment of a 

 gauge in the vicinity of Botton Head — the highest point of 

 Eastern Yorkshire.
