Extract

This paper consists of two parts. In the first part an account is given of the rain-fall in the Lake District during the year 1861, chiefly remarkable for its great amount (exceeding the average by many inches), and varying in different localities from sixty inches on the skirts of the district, for instance, at Kendal and Mirehouse, the latter four miles northward of Keswick, to 123 and 182 inches; the former, the fall at Grasmere, where approaching the higher mountains, the latter at Seathwaite in Borrowdale, a spot in the midst of them.
