but the falling off in the rainfall proved by the result obtained 

 from the new-gauge placed, some years ago, on the Platte

 West Coast as collecting 85% of the town fall. A new station 

 has been established at Rocquaine, the observer being Mr. L. 

 Nicolle, but owing to the observations having been begun in 

 March, it is not included in the table. The results of the 10 

 months are in agreement with the map.
