DR BARNES ON THE AVERAGE QUANTITY OF 



top of the gauge is parallel to the horizon. I have abstracted from the journals 

 the quantity of rain that fell at Carlisle, Aikbank, and Bunkers Hill, during 

 the periods they were kept, and have drawn up in a tabular form the quantity 

 of rain for each month and year of these periods. I have also taken the aver- 

 ages of the observations, and have found some remarkable coincidences in the 

 results. By these tables we observe the wet and dry months of every year for 

 long series of years ; we also observe the wet and dry years, and the wet and 

 dry seasons of every year.
