In Tables IX (a) and X (a), I have given the rainfall in Northern 

 India, for the period June 27th to July 4th. They are similar, to those 

 which precede as to divisions of the country. The figures I have obtained 

 by merely adding up the rainfall recorded at the various stations in each 

 division and the stations which I have taken, are those given in the 

 Indian Daily Weather Report. In the first column of each of these 

 Tables the number of stations is given so that the average rainfall for 

 each day or for a group of days so far as it depends on the records of the 

 stations selected can be obtained by dividing by that number. The 

 heavy rainfall in East Bengal on the 27th June, has no connection, so 

 far as I can see with the general disturbance which culminated in the 

 down-pour in East and North Bengal on the 30th. Setting that item 

 aside it will be seen that in Assam and North Bengal, the rainfall stead- 

 ily increased between the 27 th and the 30th, and that the dates of 

 heaviest rainfall were the 29th and 30th. Proceeding southward from 

 North Bengal the dates of heaviest rainfall are East Bengal June 30th, 

 South-West Bengal June 30th and July 1st, Orissa July 1st, and the
