lat. 53° 35' 20" N. ; long. 2° 10' 31" W. ; and the site of the 
raingauges is 475 feet above mean sea level. The gauges 
employed comprise three of five inches diameter, constructed 
on Howard’s principle, and made by Casella, of 23, Hatton 
Garden ; and three of eight inches diameter, on Mr. Glaisher’s 
plan, made by Negretti and Zambra. One gauge of each set 
is placed at an elevation of one foot, another at five feet, and 
the third at twenty feet above the ground ; and they have all 
been leveled and tested by Mr. Symons.
