THE RAINFALL OF GUERNSEY FOR THE 

 YEAR 1903. 



BY MR. A. COLLExXETTE, F.C.S., F.R, MET. SOC. 



Nine stations have co-operated during 1903, instead of six in 

 1902. One station, St. George, ceased observing in March 

 owing to Mr. Robertson leaving the island. Observations 

 from this station, embracing only two months' results, are not 

 included in this discussion. A second station, Claire Mare, 

 ceased sending results at the end of November. This station's 

 results, as they extend over eleven months, are included, the 

 twelfth month being in some of the tables given a propor- 

 tionate amount of rain so as to make the comparison possible. 

 Four stations have commenced work and are helping to 

 accumulate the necessary data to perfect our knowledge of 

 the rainfall. These are Nos. 4, 5, 6 and 9 on the first table. 



Leaving Claire Mare, Mr. J. J. Carey completes for that 

 station eight years' record. He does not cease observing, but 

 having taken up his residence at Cobo, he is to take on the 

 Cobo gauge from Miss Pringle. Miss Pringle will cease to 

 record because of this transfer. We therefore have the 

 results of the west coast dependent on the one station instead 

 of two as before ; fortunately we have an overlap and will thus 

 be able to form an opinion of future quantities for the extreme 

 S.W. of the island.
