prevailed. The rainfall of the week was very unevenly dis- 

 tributed in nearly all districts east of the Rocky Mountains. 

 Throughout the Atlantic coast and Gulf States, areas of con- 

 siderable extent, generally near the coast, received more than 

 the average rainfall, while in other portions of the same 

 district it was deficient. 



TFeeA; ending June 26. — The week was warmer than 

 usual in the Middle and South Atlantic States, the Ohio 

 valley and portions of the lower Lake region. From the 

 west Gulf coast and the Rio Grande valley northward and 

 from the upper Lake region westward to the north Pacific 

 coast the weather was cooler than usual, being decidedly 

 cool in the upper Missouri valley and the northern Rocky 

 Mountain region. In the Red River of the north and cen- 

 tral Missouri valleys, and over an area extending from the 

 west Gulf coast and lower Rio Grande valley north-eastward 

 over the lower Mississippi and Ohio valleys and the interior 

 of the Middle Atlantic States to the southern New England 

 coast the rainfall was above the average. Over a large jiart
