The next table represents the rainfall in inches in a simi- 
lar manner to that in which the horizontal movement of the 
air is represented in miles. The results of this table bear a 
most striking analogy to the previous one respecting the 
wind. More rain falls when the wind is blowing on the west 
side of the compass with the sun’s course than when it is blow- 
ing against it; and the reverse happens, as with the horizontal 
movement of the air, when the wind is blowing on the east 
side of the compass. And the monthly results are very 
similar to those respecting the wind, June and July being 
the only exceptions to the rule ; hence more rain falls during 
westerly than easterly winds. The ratios of the two tables 
are almost identical in kind though differing in amount.
