Note 37 — Chapter V · DESCRIPTION OF THE GEOLOGICAL AND GENERAL PHYSICAL FEATURES (continued)

At Delanasau, on the north or dry coast of the island, the average rainfall, according to many years’ observations by Mr. Holmes, is about 115 inches. At Wainunu, near the wet or south coast, the observations of Mr. Barratt and others extending over 16 years give an average of 160 inches. In the mountains this would be nearly doubled.
