THE RAINFALL OF GUERNSEY FOR THE 

 YEAR 1906. 



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



The Observers. — Nine Observers have sent in com[)lete 

 records for 1906, which, Avith my own results, give 10 complete 

 records, an advance of one. 



I acknowledge my great indebtedness to the gentlemen 

 named below, Avho are helping very materially to gain the 

 information we are so anxious to have as to the distribution 

 of the rainfall over the island. 



The names of the Observers and the particulars of the 

 stations are given in

As will have been seen in the previous papers, the results 

 at the station " Grange " were below those of the other stations 

 in the district by at least two inches in the year. About five 

 months ago the gauge was moved with the following result : — 

 Whereas the first seven months shows a difference of 3*7 inch 

 a year, the last four months gives an annual difference of 1*6 

 inch only.
