{/)) 1864, May. Level, 2 in. and 6 in. Collected a large quantity of dew between 12th and 21st, 



(c) 1864, October. Level, 2 in. and 6 in. Yeiy troublesome with leaves. 



(d) 1865, January. Intense frost on 29th, min. 6°. Burst all the elevation-gauges from " 2 ft."

 and " 2 in." were buried in the snow. 



(c) 1865, February 17th. Impossible to measure the three lowest gauges accurately, they being 

 buried in the snov>-. 



(/) 1865, July 7th and 8th. Couducting-pipe of 10-ft. gauge leaked: the total measured was 

 2-577 in. ; and it is calculated that the loss was -140 and -110, which has been added to prevent a 

 break in the series. 



(_</) 186.5, October. " Level " and " 2 in." Very troublesome with leaves. 



(k) 1866, October. Pipe of 20ft. 5-in. gauge found to leak slightly and repaired; 0-45 added

 7'6'-'i, from each of which 4 inches has been deducted. 



Table II. — Eatio of Eain collected at various heights to that at 1 foot.
