Stretton rain guage; there will therefore be no difficutly in finding the exact 
altitude of this rainfall station. 
12. Bromyard is 12 miles and 74 furlongs N.E. of Hereford, and, from 
Observation by aneroid, the observer (the Rev. Nash Stevenson) believes the 
altitude to be 380 feet. The rails at Leominster are 230.97 feet above sea level, 
and if the Railway Engineers will kindly tell us the difference between this altitude 
and that of the new Bromyard Station, they will very greatly oblige the Here- 
fordshire rainfall observers, who, at present, have no other means of obtaining 
this information by spirit levelling. * 
13. Stoke Bliss is 16 mile’ and 4 furlongs N.E. of Hereford, and 400 feet 
above sea level, according to Barometrical observations made by the observer. 
14, Brockhampton is 14 miles and 5 furlongs N.E. by N. of Hereford. 
Altitude not yet ascertained. 
15. Leominster, West Lodge, is 11 miles and 7 furlongs nearly due N. 
of Hereford, and at the junction of Dishley Street and West Street, 262 feet above 
sea level. (Ordnance.) 
16. Careswall, Much Marcle, is 9 miles E.S.E. of Hereford and, by 
barometrical measurement 423 feet above sea level. I have made one measure- 
ment only of this altitude. 
17. Hereford. The Latitude and Longitude of Hereford are given above, 
as well as the altitude. There are two gauges, viz., one near the White Cross, 
kept by Mr. Davison, and one in my garden at 3, Richmond Place. The rim of 
the White Cross gauge is 202.61 feet above sea level and that of the Richmond 
Place gauge 178 feet. 
18. Hampton Court is 7 miles and 6 furlongs nearly due N. of Hereford ; a 
little to the E. of N., as Leominster is a little to the W. of N. ; but the alitude 
is nowhere given. The true altitude of the Leominster rails being known (230.97 
feet) that of Hampton Court can be determined very easily. 
19. Fownhope Vicarage is 5 miles and 34 furlongs S.E. of Hereford, and 
192 feet above the sea, (barometrical measurement). 
20. Hagley Park is 3 miles E. by N. of Hereford and 301 feet above the sea, 
(barometrical measurement. 
21. Sellack Vicarage is 8 miles and 4 furlongs §.S.E. of Hereford and, to 
the best of my belief, from observations made in the years 1869 and 70, 240 feet 
above the sea. 
22. Tupsley is 14 miles E. of Hereford and 233 feet above the sea, (barome- 
trical measurement). 
23. West Bank (Ledbury) is 12 miles and 5 furlongs E. by S. of Hereford, 
and is estimated (on very good grounds) to be 410 feet above sea level. 
24. Hephill (Lugwardine). I cannot find Hephill marked in the Ordnance 
Map but the distance and bearing from Hereford must be nearly the same as the 
distance and bearing of Hagley Park. The altitude also probably differs but little 
from that of Hagley Park.* 
N.B.—AlIl the above measurements of distances from Hereford have been made on 
the Ordnance Map in perfectly straight lines.

*According to recent measurements, made by means of standing barometers of the best construc- 
tion, the Gate-house at Hephill appears to be 300 feet above the sea, and the gravel in front of 
Hagley Park House 301 feet. Also, since these notes to Table I. were written. correct informa- 
tion respecting the altitude of the rails at Bromyard has been furnished by the Rev. Nash 
Stevenson, who received the same from the Engineers of the Worcester and Bromyard Railway. 
The rails at the new Station are, it appears, 441 feet above sea level.
