The Tables from Dr Carlyle's and Mr Golding's Journals, I made nearly 

 forty years ago, but they were never published. Mr Golding set a great value 

 upon his Journals, and, for their safe keeping, gave them into the custody of 

 the Rev. Richard Matthews of Wigton Hall, with a request that he would 

 place them in his library. Mr Matthews died many years ago ; his library was 

 sold after his death ; and Mr Golding's Journals disappeared. They have 

 probably been torn up as waste paper. Dr Carlyle's family are all dead, and 

 what has become of his Journals I know not. 



On comparing the averages of our observations with those of Mr Pitt, which 

 I have also added, I find in three out of four, viz. — in Dr Carlyle's, Mr 

 Golding's, and Mr Pitt's, April to be the driest month of the year. According 

 to my own, February was the driest, and April stands next on the list. July, 

 August, September, and October were wet months, according to all the Journals. 



The following are the averages or mean quantities of rain for the several 

 months of the year, during the different periods. They are arranged in the 

 progressive order of the increasing quantity of rain in each month, according to
