In the next table I give the results obtained from two 
exactly similar gauges, placed at difterent heights from the 
ground, and free from every interference ; each gauge has a 
Sin. square receiver, and the one is placed 8ft. and the other 
34ft. above the ground. The total fall for the year in the 
one 8ft. from the ground was 88 •386 inches, and in the one 
34ft. from the ground it was 32*402 inches. The difference 
between the fall in the two gauges is 5 ’93 4 inches, or about 
15 per cent less rain fell in the higher gauge than in the 
lower. There was a similar difference last year with a 
similar amount of rainfall. In the same table I give the 
average fall in the same gauges for nine years, and by com- 
paring the results, it will be found that the average differ- 
ence between the fall in the two gauges is about 17 per centj 
very nearly the difference I showed last year on an eight 
years’ average*
