Fic. 3.—Annual and seasonal precipitation in southern New Mexico. 
Owing to local variation in precipitation, figure 2, based upon 
records of two stations, represents only the general characteristics 
of southern New Mexico. Figure 3, based upon 24 years’ (1895 to 
1919, inclusive) records from seven eofaone (Table 3), although for 
a fens period, covers slightly wider territory and is perhaps more 
representative of the semidesert ranges in New Mexico.’
