sively dry year at some other places in hilly 
districts, where observations have been made. 
At Bolton-le-Moors, and in the hills above that 
town, near Belmont, the rain has been as follows ;

The gauge at Old Lyons is three miles north 
of that at the water works, and near the summit 
of the hill at the head of the valley, draining to 
the Turton and Entwistle reservoir; probably 
about 1200 or 1300 above the level of the sea.
