THE RAINFALL OF GUERNSEY FOR THE 

 YEAR 18 97. 



The rainfall is given, in this paper, as it has occurred at four 

 stations. I am indebted to the following gentlemen for kind 

 co-operation in collecting the rain and in providing me with 

 the data : E. Ch. Ozanne, Esq., Jurat, J. J. Carey, Esq., 

 and Mr. B. Rows well. 



I divide these stations into two orders : «, High level 

 stations ; 5, Low level stations ; and in the table which fol- 

 lows I give the elevations of these stations above mean sea 

 level.

As the actual rainfall at Beaulieu, Hauteville, is that 

 used in the totals, averages and means published by me as a 

 continuation of Dr. Hoskins' series, I shall treat of it first, 

 afterwards comparing the falls of other stations with the 

 results so obtained. This series has now been carried on 

 without break for fifty-five years. The means and averages 

 are published every five years ; a reference to the last sheet 

 published will show that the changes produced year by year 

 are extremely slight. The other stations are comparatively 

 new, and offer consideration of much interest as their details 

 are observed and compared with the results now arrived at in 

 the long series.
