Thus, once only in the four months of February, March, May, and 
July has rain fallen consecutively for so long a period as 14 days. Of 
the remaining months there are five distinguished by two such cases 
in 44 years, viz., January, April, August, November, and December, 
and there are three such cases in June, five in September, and six in i 
October. 
Of other instances of 14 days or more of continuous rain running j 
from one month into the next, there are seven cases, viz., in 1836, , 
March 22 to April 9 ; 1843, May 14 to June 10; 1836, September 27 to j 
October 15; 1841, September 21 to October 18 ; 1855, September 28 : 
to October 1 7 ; 1840, October 26 to November 13 ; and 1841, November 
26 to December 13. Of these the longest continuous rain was 28 days. , 
In looking over Tables I. to XII. it will be seen how, as a rule, the \ 
rain falls in gentle showers, and but seldom as very heavy rain. Falls ; 
of an inch in the day in the winter months are very unusual; in the 44 j 
years there has been but one such fall in the months of January, | 
March, and December, and there has not been a single instance in the 
month of February. The greatest -fall in this month on one day was i 
on the 25th day in the year 1849, when the amount was 0’92 inch. All 
the instances of an inch of rain in the day in the 44 years are as i
