BY MR. A. COLLENETTE, F.C.S., F.K. MET. SOC. 



Again I have to thank the Guernsey observers who have 

 co-operated with me and who have obliged me with their 

 records. 



The names, addresses, &c, are given in Table I.

The comparisons are getting more and more interesting 

 because the general results of previous comparisons are 

 confirmed, and in time, if kept up, these observations will 

 enable me to find a mean value for the whole island, which 

 will vary from the town results by being a smaller quantity. 



The second table will give the quantities for each station 

 and the mean for the years of comparison as well as the 57 

 years' average for the town.
