Rainfall in mm. of the West Indian Islands St. Croix, 

 St. Kitts, St. Eustatius, Saba and St. Martin. 



S) from Went Rapport 1. c. 



*) from Inspeotie van den Landbouw in West-Indie. Meteorologische Waarnemingen 



gedaan op de Meteorologische stations in de kolonien Suriname en Curajao in 



het jaar 1906. 



As appears from the preceding list there is a great harmony 

 about the data concerning the rainfall on the different Islands 

 and es'pecially when we take in consideration that the first 

 data about the rainfall in the Dutch West Indian Islands are 

 most probably not so accurate as the last, there is almost the 

 same amount of rain on each of them. 



Moreover I am sure (and here I quite agree with what Went 

 says in his Report) that the quantity of rain that falls on the 

 higher parts of the Mountain in St. Eustatius and Saba is much 

 more than elsewhere on these Islands.
