It is 



worthy of remark that Dr Miller states in his " 



Synopsis of the Fall 



of Rain, 



&c, in the English Lake and Mountain Distric 



t in the year 1853," 



that—" 



Among several abnormal and opposite atmospheric 



conditions presented 



by the i 



fears 1852 and 1853, the departure from the aver 



age in the rain fall is 



the mos 



st obvious and remarkable. While the former was the wettest, the 



latter was the driest year since the experiments were begun in 1844. In 1852

and, in 1853, to 113*69 inches — a difference of 43 inches, corresponding to the 

 average annual fall at Whitehaven in the last ten years." A similar departure 

 from the average rain-fall took place at Bunkers Hill— the greatest fall during 

 the period of my journal being in 1852, and the least in 1853, as appears by the 

 accompanying Table — 31-825 inches in the former year, and 19*613 inches in 

 the latter.
