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. 
5 The figures for the years prior to 1906 are for Braemar, which ceased reporting after 1905
