Abstract
MR. SYMONS's staff of voluntary observers now numbers 3084, having grown from 168 in the year 1860. Of these observers, 2304 have their stations in England, and only 398 in Scotland—a disproportion which is to be regretted. The large number of private stations where good records of rainfall are kept, is a striking testimony to the interest taken in local meteorology.
