2 Mr. F. Campbell-Bayard’s Report of the 
These printed tables contain the records of all observers, with 
the exceptions already mentioned, reporting to the Committee. 
Appendix II. contains a record of all falls of rain of 1-00 in. 
and upwards, extracted from the monthly tables in Appendix I. 
It will be noticed that there is only one fall exceeding 2-00 in.— 
viz. 2:07 on October 1st at Harp’s Oak Cottage—and that there 
are no less than eleven days on which there were falls of 1:00 in. 
and upwards, as against only six days in the previous years. 
The year’s rainfall must be described as a short one. In 
order, if possible, to find out the deficiency, the year’s rainfall 
has been compared with the 10 years’ averages given in last 
year’s report. In that report the averages for 48 stations were 
given, and of these stations 45 may be considered as continuous. 
Of course, it must be recollected that a 10 years’ average is not 
an absolute one, in fact, some of the greatest rainfall authorities
