1 The  Average  Fall  is  in  nearly  all  cases  deduced  from  observations  extending  over  the 
thirty -five  years  1871-1905. 
’ The  Mean  Rainfall  for  each  country  is  based  upon  observations  made  at  a large  number 
of  stations  in  addition  to  those  given  above. 
» The  figures  for  the  years  prior  to  1906  are  for  Braemar,  which  ceased  reporting  after  1005.
