The New England Type. 



57 



In New England the Atlantic type is seriously modified and 

 the character of the distribution, difficult to determine with ex- 

 actness owing to the slight variations, is possibly affected by 

 the interference of the Saint Lawrence type. In consequence, 

 we find in New England a composite type in which the August 

 maximum of the Atlantic type is generally primary, and a 

 November maximum secondar}'-, though in some localities these 

 maxima are reversed in order of their importance. The Atlantic 

 November minimum is replaced by a June primary minimum; 

 while a secondary minimum falls in some localities in September 

 and in others in April.

The distribution of rain through the Saint Lawrence valley, 

 although of composite type, probably merits from its peculiarity 

 to be designated separately as the " Saint Lawrence " type. The
