V. Meteorology. 



8. The season was on the whole a favourable one. There 

 were no ante-monsoon showers; the preparation of the fields was 

 therefore difficult. On the 7th and 8th of June it rained 3 inches 

 60 cents. The work of sowing was continued from 19th of June 

 to the 4th of July. The crops were looking well till the end of 

 July. In the first fortnight of August only 2 cents of rain was 

 recorded. The Station crops were therefore irrigated. But in the 

 second fortnight of August 2 inches 45 cents fell which saved all 

 the crops. The whole of October was without rain. The rabi 

 crops had therefore to be sown under irrigation. Although the 

 total amount of rain was only equal to that of the last year, it 

 was better distributed for the kharif season, in the year under 

 report.
