mentioned that a recent judicial decision had established the

The members were very kindly entertained at tea by Dr. and 
Mrs. Mill, and on leaving each was presented with a copy of 
a volume of ‘ British Rainfall,’ one of the publications issued 
by him, now recording annually the observations of nearly 
5,000 observers in Great Britain and Ireland, with various 
meteorological records, the other being ‘ Symons’ Meteorological 
Magazine,’ which is issued monthly. 
It may be mentioned that the “ British Rainfall Organization ” 
is now vested in Trustees, with Dr. Mill as Director, and that 
His Majesty the King heads the list of subscribers and 
contributes records from Windsor, Sandringham, and Balmoral.
