204 Mr. F. Campbell-Bayard’s Report of the 
issued monthly, and of which a sufficient number have from time 
to time been pulled for the use of the Club; and Appendix II. 
contains a record of all falls of rain of 1:00 in. and upwards, 
extracted from Appendix I. 
The year 1895 has been a most remarkable one, perhaps the 
most remarkable one of the present century. The prolonged 
cold, which we all remember in January and February; the warm 
June; the remarkable equality of the mean temperatures of July, 
August, and September; the number of months (four) in which 
less than one inch of rain fell; the intense heat of Sept. 23rd to 
30th; the unusually cold period of Oct. 23rd to 31st; the warm 
November, with a temperature higher than October, combined 
with the short rainfall, form a record unique during the present 
century. 
With respect to the rainfall of the year, the smallness of the 
total fall is remarkable. If we take the Greenwich record for 
eighty years (1816-95), we find that there are only ten years in 
which the annual fall was smaller than in 1895, and they are as 
follows :—

The Greenwich average for the eighty years (1816-95) has been 
carefully worked up, and is given in the table below. ‘This 
shows that the deficiency in the rainfall is just 54 in., a very 
large amount. ‘The table is as follows :—
