Meteorological Sub-Committee for 1898. 297 
month’s rainfall is small, the differences between the field and 
the tower gauges is much less in proportion than when the 
month’s rainfall is large. One would have thought that the 
percentage of the difference would have been constant, but this 
does not appear to be the case. 
As is probably well known, the Committee of the Club, through 
the Honorary Secretary of the Meteorological Sub-Committee, 
approached the observers with the object of asking them to 
become members of the Club, or to give a small donation 
towards the expenses of the Meteorological Sub-Committee. 
The response has been most gratifying; many of the observers 
have become members of the Club, and the number of observers 
who have not become members but have given donations towards 
the expenses of the Sub-Committee is eleven, as against five in 
the previous year. The Sub-Committee desire to express their 
thanks to the observers for their very cordial co-operation in the 
rainfall work of the Club, for without them such a work could 
never be carried on.
