2 quantity' 14th November. 



Observing guage No. 2 had always the greatest quantity of rain, and No. 3 the least, 

 on Ist January, 1847, I removed guage No, 2, to the situation of No. 3, and No. 3, to the 

 place of No. 2, and these two years give the same result as formerly, showing it was 

 not the guagcB, but the situation that gives the difference,
