In the next table I present the average day and night 
fall for a period of nine years. The results of this table 
continue, however, to show, though by a very small amount, 
that the day fall exceeds the night fall, so far as the whole 
year is concerned. The months which have an excess of 
rainfall in the night are the same as those shown in the 
eight years’ average, namely — January, February, August, 
September, and December.
