Report of tJie Brown-Harvard Expedition. 



lo others that were wholly or predominantly cloudy. Low's 

 observations were made in a part of the country for the most 

 part very different from that of our own expedition. In 

 1893, between August 13th and September 30th, his journey- 

 ings corresponded most nearly with our own, covering the 

 territory from the Upper Koksoak to Chimo, around to the 

 Atlantic coast, and south to Rigolet; and of the 48 days, 5 

 had rain and about 20 others were overcast (clouds 7 or more 

 on a scale of 10). In 1894, between July ist and August 

 24th, he was on the Upper Hamilton, among the lakes, and 

 on the Romaine River south to Mingan ; of the 55 days, there 

 was rain on 36 and 7 were overcast. In 1895, July ist to 

 September 2d, in the vicinity of the Manicouagan River, of 

 the 64 days, 46 were rainy. All authorities agree as to the 

 small amount of annual precipitation. 



These comparisons are summarized in the following 

 table. In considering the comparisons, one must remember 

 that the observations of Low and Bryant were made for the 

 most part in the interior, in the localities above mentioned, 

 while ours were made on the coast ; and that some error may 

 arise from my interpretation of their records, the terms used 

 by them not being idefitical with those given here : —
