METEOROLOGICAL SECTION. 
The following tables, showing the temperature, wind, rain- 
fall, sunshine, &c., at Brighton, have been drawn up by Dr. 
Arthur Newsholme (Medical Officer of Health for the Borough). 
The chief facts as to the Meteorology of Brighton during the 
twelve months July, 1891-June, 1892, are set forth in Table I., and 
the comparison with the mean results for the 14 years 1877-90 
can be made in detail. The year was an exceptionally wet one, 
there having been 32°60 inches as compared with the mean 
amount of 30°36 inches. 
Table III., affording an interesting comparison between the 
meteorology of Crowborough and Brighton, has been compiled 
from the observations of Mr. C. Leeson Prince, whose admirable 
work in this direction, continued over a long series of years, is 
well known. 
The Crowborough Observatory is 825 feet above sea level and 
distant about twenty-two miles from Brighton in a N.H. direction ; 
the'rain-gauge at Brighton is 32 feet above sea level. The rain- 
fall is much greater at Crowborough. During the whole year, 
and especially during the winter months, the range of temperature 
is greater than at Brighton. The table gives an interesting 
example of the contrast between a seaside and a hilly and 
well-wooded neighbourhood.
