Note 416 — APPENDIX (continued 2)
Reading edition
The general ideas on the subject of the English rain-fall are so very vague, that I may be pardoned for reminding my readers that in 1852, the year of extraordinary rain, the amounts varied from 28·5 inches in Essex, to 50 inches at Cirencester, and 67·5 (average of five years) at Plympton St. Mary’s, and 102·5 at Holme, on the Dart.
