* At Kendal, 168; at Selside, six miles from Kendal, 193; and at Bowness, near Windermere Lake, 217 
wet days. 
t The month of January 1850 was included in the Tables for 1849, in consequence of the gauges being 
frozen up at the close of the latter year. 
t April 30. This morning the summits of Gabel and Sea Fell were capped with snow ankle deep, and it froze 
keenly. The receivers were iced over at both stations, but not so strongly as to prevent the water being mea- 
sured off. 
§ In October, the normal proportion betwixt Stye Head and Sprinkling Tarn is inverted. On inquiry, I find 
the quantities as given in the Table are correct. 
(1 The Sea Fell gauge was frozen on the last day of the year; the receiver was brought down to the valley 
and the ice melted. The funnel was filled up with snow, which accounts for the relatively small quantity of 
water received by this gauge during the last quarter. The fall of snow is very much greater on Sea Fell than 
on Gabel, although the difterence in altitude is only 241 feet.
