THl^ RAINFALL OF GUERNSEY FOR THE 

 YEAR 1905. 



BY MR. A. COLLENETTE, F.C.S. 



The Observers. — Nine Observers have sent in complete 

 returns for 1905. One, Mr. J. J. I'arey, Cobo, ceased to 

 observe at the end o£ May. T have therefore discussed the 

 observations of 10 stations for the first five months of the 

 year and of 9 stations during the remaining seven months. 

 Mr. Curtis, as usual, sent in returns collected at Mont Saint, 

 during the four weeks commencing the 13th of August. 

 These I have not included in the tables because the returns 

 are not complete for any one month, but I have been able to 

 use them in studying the distribution of the rainfall. One 

 of the nine observers who have sent in complete returns 

 occupies a new station, namely, Oberland, St. Martin's. To 

 all the Observers I acknowledge my indebtedness, and render 

 my thanks for their untiring and regular assistance. 



The names of the Observers and particulars of the 

 stations are given in
