Hence we fee by the firft table of the laft volume, page 228, 

 that the Spring was ivet, whether we confider the quantity of 

 rain or the number of wet days. 



The Summer muft be denominated variable, incUning Jirongly 

 to "wet, whether we confider the quantity or duration of the 

 rain. The Autumn was alfo very wet. 



Comparifon of the Seafons with the Rules of Prognojiication. 



The Spring being wet the probability of a wet Summer was 

 the greateft by the third table, being ^ ; but that of variable 

 wet was nearly as great, being ^ by the fixth table. 



The Spring being wet and the Summer variable wet, the pro- 

 bability of a dry Autumn ftands greateft in my tenth table. 

 If this rule be true, this year is an exception to that rule. The 

 fifth table left it doubtful whether the Autumn would be dry 

 or variable. The fourth table indicated a variable.
