Meteorological Sub-Committee for 1895. 205 
On examining this table it is at once seen that the deficiency 
arises in the first six months, viz. —5-42 in., and that the excess 
in the second six months is extremely small, viz. + 0:18 in. 
This great deficiency, if continued during the present year, 
must, if there is a dry summer, give rise to very serious fears as 
to our water-supply. 
It is not proposed to go into the question of the great frost of 
January and February, which has been exhaustively considered 
by myself and Mr. Marriott in a paper read before the Royal 
Meteorological Society on April 17th, 1895, nor of the other 
phenomena of this very remarkable year, as the notes attached 
to every monthly sheet give short particulars of the same; but 
the Sub-Committee desire especially to impress on the members 
of the Club the slight probability that there is that there will be 
such another year for a long time to come. 
In conclusion, the Sub-Committee desire to express their 
thanks to the three gentlemen who have so kindly continued 
their subscriptions to enable the Club to carry on its great work, 
and also to all the observers for their co-operation in every 
possible way.
