378 Mr. J. Glaisher on the Meteorology of England 



5th at Aylesbury ; on the 8th at Oxford ; on the 9th at Holk- 

 ham ; on the 12th at Durham ; on the 19th at Stonyhurst and 

 North Shields ; and on the 26th at Dunino. 



Harvest finished. — On August 30 at Guernsey; on the 31st 

 at Cardington. On September 5 at Holkham ; and on Sep- 

 tember 21 at Ha warden. 



Remarkable rain. — At Guernsey, on August 8, rain to the 

 depth of 1*333 inch fell in sixteen hours; and on September 28, 

 upwards of an inch of rain fell during twelve hours 



At Falmouth, on September 24, rain to the depth of 1*93 

 inch fell, of which 0'8 inch fell in little more than half an hour. 



At Exeter, from August 25 to September 19, no rain fell, 

 and the weather was close, warm and fine for several days; 

 the sky was cloudless : the average reading of the barometer 

 was about 30*25 inches. 



The amount of rain which fell during the thunder-storm on 

 September 20 was 1*95 inch, which is the amount by which 

 the rain in the month exceeded the average; the former being 

 4*33 inches, and the latter 2*39, or rather more than one- 

 half. 



At Uckfield, on July 17, the depth of rain which fell within 

 an hour was 1*81 inch, which is almost an unprecedented 

 amount to have fallen in so short a time in the south of En- 

 gland. Much heavy rain fell during the last week of Sep- 

 tember, which was very beneficial to the autumnal crops. 



At Southampton no rain fell till the 21st of September; 

 and on September 27 it fell to the depth of 1*13 inch. 



At Aylesbury, on July 15, rain to the depth of 0*75 inch 

 fell in forty-two minutes. No rain fell from the 27th of August 

 to the 20th of September, and much inconvenience is still felt 

 from the short supply of water. 



At Cardington the springs became nearly dry during the 

 first week in September, and continued so till the end of the 

 month. 



At Derby, the amount of rain which has fallen in the nine 

 months of this year is 15*6 inches ; the average is 22*4 inches. 



At Norwich, on July 26, rain fell to the depth of 1*18 inch. 



At Holkham, on July 16, rain fell to the depth of 1*29 inch 

 in five hours and three-quarters. 



At York, on August 8, rain to the depth of 0'7 inch fell 

 within two hours. No appreciable quantity of rain fell in 

 York between the 28th of August and the 20th of September. 



At Stonyhurst, on August 5, rain fell to the depth of 0*784 

 inch, and on August 7 to the depth of 0*858 inch.

 of 1*482 inch. The month of September was remarkably
