 CLIMATE. 157 



The same results for the seasons and the year arc much 

 more conspicuously seen in the diagrams E and F, table III 

 (7). The former gives the results for the year, the latter for 

 the seasons : Summer, March and August inclusive; and 

 Winter, September and February inclusive of same year — 

 the dotted curve for winter and full curve for summer. 



These diagrams show very interesting results. The rains 

 curve during the seasons and during the year accompanied 

 with southwest winds, or, in other words; the rain-winds are 

 from the southwest, the very opposite to the rain- winds of the 

 Atlantic States. 



Twenty per cent of the rainy days are accompanied with 

 N. N. E. winds; 18 per cent by E. S. E. winds; 42 per cent by 

 S. S. W. winds, and 19 per cent by W. N. W. winds; or, to sum 

 up, 62 per cent occur in connection with winds from a westerly 

 course.
