1901—1902. 
1.—Report oF THE METEOROLOGICAL Committrrer, 1901. 
Prepared by the Hon. Sec., Francis CAMPBELL-BayarpD, 
F.R.Met.Soce. 
Tue same arrangements, under which the daily rainfall of the 
district around Croydon has been observed and tabulated, have 
been continued throughout the year 1901. On entering into the 
first year of the second decade, according to the rules of the 
Royal Meteorological Society, of the Society’s operations, it is 
perhaps unnecessary to emphasize the great value of continuing 
the same plan as laid down originally, for in all statistical 
observations the value of continuity is considered of first-rate 
importance. 
The number of stations in the printed list is 88, and there 
are two additional stations—vz. Redhill (Linkfield Road), and 
Benhilton, the records of which are practically complete for the 
whole year, and which will be found at the end of this Report.. 
“These 85 stations are under the superintendence of 66 observers. 
The only change during the year in the observers is at Beckenham, 
which change was mentioned in the March sheet. The Committee 
desire to congratulate the Society on the absence of any further 
change. 
Appendix I. to this Report contains a list of the observers, 
with particulars relating to the stations and gauges, and also the 
monthly tables of daily rainfall, of which a sufficient number 
have from month to month been pulled for the use of the Society.
