appreciable amount of rain, while only light showers oc- 

 curred over much of the Lake region and New Eno^land. 

 Heavy rains fell, however, over a considerable part of the 

 south Atlantic States and in the northern portion of the 

 upper Mississippi valley. Kains continued over a large 

 part of the southern Plateau region, but there was no appre- 

 ciable rainfall in the middle and northern Plateau districts, 

 or in the Pacific coast States. 



Week ending /September 19. — The week averaged cooler 

 than usual over the Missouri, Red River of the North, Ohio 

 and upper Mississippi valleys, throughout the entire Lake 

 region, excepting portions of western New York, in north-

 The temperatures were normal or slightly above throughout

 a narrow belt extending from North Carolina north-eastward 

 to include parts of New England. Amounts in these dis-
