PHYSICAL GEOGKAPHY. 



The mean amount, 44.27 inches, is greater than meteorolo- 

 gists on the seaboard have been led to expect. The greatest 

 fall 74.49 inches in 1851, and the least, 23.35 inches in 1854, 

 furnish a range of upward of fifty inches. August is the 

 month in which the greatest amount falls, and January the 

 least.
