In the next table I give the results obtained from two 
exactly similar gauges placed at different heights from the 
ground and free from every interference. Each gauge has 
a 5in. square receiver, and the one is placed 3 feet and the 
other 84 feet above the ground. The total fall in the one 
8 feet from the ground was 80’820 inches, and in the one 
34 feet from the ground it was 25*401 inches, for the year 
1873. The difference between the fall in the two gauges is 
5*419 inches, or about 17 per cent less rain fell in the higher 
than in the lower gauge. In the following table I give the 
average fall in the same gauges for 6 years, and by com- 
paring the results it will be found that the rate per cent of 
the difference of the rainfall in the two gauges is the same 
as it is for last year.
