41-48 inches, on 196 days—a somewhat striking difference. There 
is an equally marked contrast in the periods during which it fell 
compared with the previous year. In 1894 over 17 inches were 
registered during the first three months, whereas in the corres- 
ponding months of 1895 the amount was less than 2 inches. The 
heaviest rainfall for one day in 1894 was 1:45 inches, which 
occurred on 27th January, and over an inch was recorded on three 
occasions during that year. Only on one day, however, in 1895, 
viz., 4th December, was the amount over an inch, when 1:03 inches 
fell. The wettest month of 1894 was February, when the ex- 
ceptionally large amount of 8:96 inches of rain fell, whereas in 
1895 August had the greatest rainfall, with 6-02 inches. It may 
be noted that for a series of years there has been a heavy rainfall 
in August. 
As already stated, these notes are based on the records taken 
at Queen’s Park, but the following table of the rainfall recorded 
in the other Parks, where gauges are now placed, shows interesting 
points of comparison ; due allowance being made for the altitude, 
exposure, and other local conditions, as in no two cases are they 
alike :—
