The minimum, as observed, appears between the 80th and 00th days 
of the year, and the maximum between the 290th and 300th days, and 
these are the same days as found at Greenwich. 
By drawing a line through the curve, giving equal weight to every 
point, the dotted curved line is drawn: if we consider this to represent 
the annual march of the fall of rain, it seems that the minimum is 
from the 80th to the 90th days; that it increases gradually, but with 
checks, to a maximum about the 220th day, decreases a little after this, 
attains the maximum between the 290th and 300th days ; then rapidly 
decreases towards the end of the year, when a secondary minimum 
takes place, and increases to a winter maximum about the middle of 
January, agreeing in all its main characters with the results as found at 
Greenwich from fifty-five years’ observations.
