RAINFALL OF GUERNSEY. 



395 



a real difference because the St. Sampson's gauge confirms the 

 results. 



This peculiarity in the rainfall is brought out by grouping. 

 If all the stations near the east coast are taken together they 

 will be found to lead, the town stations are second, and the 

 west coast third in quantity. 



If the east coast stations are compared, Fort Road collects 

 most, l'Ancresse next, St. Sampson's third, and Les Blanches 

 least. The fall diminishes, therefore, from Town to both south 

 and north.
