1 The Average Fall is in nearly all cases deduced from observations extending over the 
t.hirtv-flve years 1866-1900. 
2 The Mean Rainfall for each country is based upon observations made at a large number 
of stations in addition to those given above. 
3 The figures for “Previous Years ” are for Braemar, which ceased reporting after 1905.
