  At

  there 
  is 
  a 
  continuous 
  record 
  from

   inclusive. 
  The 
  mean 
  precipitation 
  for 
  this 
  whole 
  period 
  is 
  33.01 
  

   inches. 
  For 
  the 
  period 
  1834-1840, 
  inclusive, 
  the

  year 
  is 
  considerably 
  under 
  the 
  mean, 
  as 
  follows 
  : 
  In 
  1834, 
  

   20.37 
  inches; 
  1835, 
  28.67 
  inches; 
  1836, 
  26.83 
  inches; 
  1837,
