N.B. Reasonable values have been calculated and added to compen- 

 sate for the first half of Aug. 1906 and for the latter half of 

 July 1905, both of which were wanting, so that the figures, 

 throughout, apply to complete years.

Consequently, ^/0 of the total amount of precipitation must be 

 reckoned to the winter half-year. Not even Vio of the precipitation 

 of the year falls as rain.
