Curve 16 (Solar), illustrating Table I, 



16. 1847-'55, continuous line. 

 1856-'64, broken line. 

 1865-' 73, dotted line. 



Curve 17 (Solar and Lunar), illustrating Table I. 



17. Solar mean, continuous line. 

 Lunar " broken line. 



The horizontal line in each figure represents the mean daily rainfall 

 for the entire period represented by the curve ; the abscissas, the times ; 

 and the ordinates, the normal percentage of excess or deficiencv of rain-

fall. The origin of the abscissas is at New Year in the solar curves, 

 and at full moon in each of the lunar curves, except figure 17, where it is 

 taken at new moon in order to show the analogous effects of increasing 

 radiation, both in the solar and in the lunar curves. At Lisbon, where 

 the prevailing winds are from an opposite quarter, the lunar influence is 

 also opposite, increasing lunar radiations and decreasing solar radiations, 

 each bringing increase of rain. 



"Husband's" Station is in St. Lucy's parish, northwestern part of 

 Barbadoes, not far from the coast, 184 feet above the sea. In the follow- 

 ing tables, new moon, first quarter, full moon, last quarter, are respec- 

 tively marked by, n, a, f, b.
