REMARKS. 











1896 has been remarkable for the long-continued drought in the early 

 part of the year (the rainfall for the first seven months being 788 inches), 

 and for the continued wet weather in the last five months (rainfall, 17'33 

 inches). The long drought ended on August 11th, after which there was 

 no settled weather for the rest of the year — September, October, and 

 December being exceptionally wet.
