STARR IOWA THUNDER-STORMS. 99 



Fourth. The rainfall in many of these storms was remarkably light. 



FiftJi. There has been very little hail this year. Small amounts 

 fell on June 18th, 19th, 20th, July 3d, 5th, 26th, 27th, August 3d and 

 8th. 



Sixth. When our thunder-storms and hail show any connection with 

 the "low" areas of the United States Signal Service weather map, we 

 are generally in the southeast quadrant of such an area, and at a con- 

 siderable distance from the center. 



Seventh. Three cases are mentioned of dead horses found at the 

 barbed wire fence. I would like reference to similar cases elsewhere.
