196 REPORT OF THE RAIN GAUGES. 
In the case of the gauge at the Whiteholme 
reservoir, the observations are incomplete, only 
extending from the 11th January to the end of 
October, the gauge having then become damaged. 
Previous to the 11th January, the day on which 
the gauge was fixed in the ground, there had 
fallen in the vicinity, at the Toll Bar, on Black- 
stone Edge, 1; inches of rain, and if the rain for 
November and December be supposed the same 
at Whiteholme as at the Toll Bar, viz. 25, 
which, from the close approximation in all the 
other months, cannot be far from the truth, we 
should have for the year’s fall at the Whiteholme 
reservoir, 35; inches. 
Unfortunately the observations upon the Canal 
Company’s gauges have not been made exactly 
at the end of the months, nor on the same days 
as those of the society, and therefore the differ- 
ence in the Monthly falls, as registered by the 
two guages cannot be conveniently or accurately 
compared. 
The total fall for the year at each place, as 
received in the Company’s gauges, is shown in 
the following table, in which is also exhibited the 
average fall for a number of years, as published
