Table N exhibits the rainfall in inches for every day of the year. A 

 graphical representation will be found on the two pages of Chart No. 11. where 

 the horizontal lines are drawn equal in length in inches to the rainfall for each 

 day. Table contains the rainfall by months, classified according to the 

 prevailing direction of the wind during the fall. In each vertical column will be 

 found the number of days on which the rain fell, the wind being in a given 

 direction and also the total amount of rain in inches. Both of the results are 

 shown in a more striking manner in Charts No. 12 and No. 13 The first 

 shows, relatively, the number of times the rain has come from different 

 directions and the second the actual inches of rain from various directions for 

 each month of the year. A comparison of these curves with those already 

 given of a similar character representing wind alone, indicates some interesting 

 relations and when a longer series of observations shall have been completed 

 important deductions can doubtless be made. Charts No. 14 and No. 15 exhibit 

 the same facts for the year, being constructed from the totals of table 0. A 

 comparison of these points clearly to a conclusion similar to that reached in 

 regard to the wind ; that is that not only have by far the greater number of rain- 

 storms come from the North and North-west but that it is particularly from the 

 North-west that the heavy rains have come. In table P will be found the total 

 fall of rain with the number of days on which rain fell and the number of clear 

 days for each month and for the year. By a clear day is meant one during 

 which not more than one fifth of the sky is covered with clouds at any one time. 

 Of the total 58.975 inches of rain for the entire year, the greatest amount for 

 any one month was 9.606 inches for June. In May and June rain fell on 33 

 days, the total amount being 18.409 inches. Less rain fell in November than in 

 any other month, although the amount is only a trifle less than that for January. 

 The greatest amount of rain on any one day was 3.96 inches on June 4. The 

 maximum number of days in succession on which rain fell was 11, — from May 

 25 to June 4. The maximum number in succession on which rain did not fall 

 was 14,— from January 1 to January 14. The maximum number of clear days 

 in succession was 10, — from January 1 to January 10.

Chart No. 16 exhibits in the first diagram the proportion of clear, cloudy and 

 rainy days in each month, the open space representing clear days, that crossed by 

 one set of lines cloudy, and that by two sets of lines the days on which rain fell. 

 The second diagram shows the total inches of rain in each month of the year.
