The Time of High Water. 
The time of high water at Yarmouth Bar can, of course, 
be obtained from the published tide tables. The time actually 
observed often varies considerably from the time predicted, 
owing to causes the influence of which will be discussed below. 
The following table is intended to show how much time 
elapses between high water on Yarmouth Bar and high water 
at various points in the Bure and its tributaries. It is natural 
that, in dealing with necessarily scanty observations from 
each separate point, the conclusions will be open to error, 
since the tides are subject to so many disturbances. In order 
to eliminate the error as far as possible I have taken the 
average of all observations at each place. The figure given 
for Southtown Bridge is the average for 22 months’ records. 
* These figures, owing to the irregularity of the movements of the 
water, do not pretend to accuracy. They are the nearest approach 
that can be made to connecting the movements with a tidal period. 
It has not been found possible to tabulate any Records from Hickling 
or from above Ludham Bridge.
