Mr. Alfred Creer’s excellent notes on the flood in his 
quarterly report of the Ouse Navigation Committee (November, 
1892) should be consulted in connexion with these notes. 
In conclusion, may we not hope for two results from the 
recent visitation P First, suitable gauges, and an automatic 
recorder, the one to record the extremes, the other all the 
fluctuations above and below summer level, with which the 
health of the city is so intimately connected. Secondly, a 
systematic series of warnings, the cost of which would be 
but the merest fraction of what would have been saved by 
them in the present flood alone.
