on New Year's Day. The second (i'55 ins.) on May the 28th, 

 and the last (i'33 ins.) on September the 23rd. The total 

 amount of water yielded by the heavy snow-storms of the 

 20th, 2ist, and 22nd of November was nearly equivalent to a 

 fall of rain an inch in depth. 



Sunshine. 



Taking the year throughout, on as many as 106 days, or for 

 altogether about 3^ months, no sunshine at all was recorded 

 at Greenwich, and in January there occurred 16 consecutive 

 days during which there were altogether only two half hours 

 of bright sunshine. July was a most exceptionally dull 

 summer month, the average daily amount of clear sunshine 

 falling short of that recorded in the two previous Julys by as 

 much as 2^ hours and 2 hours 6 mins. respectively. The 

 brightest day was the loth of June, when the sun was shining 

 for 13^ hours.
