Abstract

(1) THE sixty-eighth annual volume of the British Rainfall Organization summarises the records for 1928 from more than 5000 raingauges, the general method of treatment of this material being similar to that followed in the volume for 1927. It is satisfactory to note that there is an increase of 2 per cent in the number of records available for 1928 as compared with 1927, just as the number for 1927 exceeds that for 1926 by 2 per cent. Unfortunately, the greatest improvement in representation is for the counties of Surrey and Devon, both of which are already well represented, and not for any of those Scottish and Irish counties where rainfall observers are very thinly distributed.
