REPORT 1864. 



Table giving the time of flood and high water at Naburn Lock, Goole, and 

 Gainsborough after it is flood and high water at Hull. 



The following statement shows the difference between the mean and 

 extreme rise of the tides at Hull and Goole as taken in 1862 and 1864: — 



By the above it will be observed that the mean rise at Hull in 1864 was 

 less by -70 feet than in 1862, and that the extreme rise in 1864 was less by 

 1-59 feet than in 1862 ; and at Goole the mean rise was less in 1864 than 

 in 1862 by -67 feet, but the extreme rise in 1864 was more by 1-42 feet than 

 in 1862. 



In bringing their labours to a conclusion, yoiu" Committee confidently hope 

 that, although they may not have shed any new light on the phenomena of 

 the tides of the Humber, they may have established such data as may enable 

 others to follow out the inquiry so as to lead to valuable results. 



Your Committee cannot close their report without expressing their great 

 obligation to W. H. Huifam, Esq., and R. A. MarriUier, Esq., of Hull; 

 Thomas Wilson, Esq., and W. H. Bartholomew, Esq., of Leeds ; and Luke 

 Thompson, Esq., of York, for the valuable assistance they have received from 

 those gentlemen.
