218 Meteorological Register for Lancaster. [Marcu, 
average of eight preceding years, has also been noticed by Mr. 
Harrison, of Kendal :—** The total amounted to somewhat less 
than 48 inches. This quantity falls short of the mean annual 
average of the last eight years, 1816 included, by two inches.”

Lancaster, Jan. 18, 1817. C. Jounson, Surgeon. 
From the Lancaster Gazette, Jan. 4, 1817. 
The depth of rain which fell at Lancaster in 1816 was 37°47 
inches ; which is something short of an average quantity, as appears 
by the annexed statement, from which it is also evident that the 
cause of the unusual backwardness of the late harvest was not a 
superabundance of rain.
