* Mahabuleshwar, on the western slope of the Ghauts, not far 

 from Bombay, is, so far as we know, the spot at which, of all the earth, the 

 most rain falls ; and nearly the whole of this enormous amount of rain, 

 almost twenty-four feet in depth, comes down in the months of June, July, 

 August and September.
