Abstract
THE Director of the British Rainfall Organisation is to be congratulated on the volume he has produced1 dealing with the rainfall of the British Isles, and for the compilation of which he has the assistance of 5300 observers. As time goes on the value of the work undertaken is greatly enhanced, not only by the extension of the observations and the greater accuracy of the results, but also by the completeness of the discussions rendered possible by the accumulation of data. The thoroughness with which the work is carried out both by the voluntary observers and by Dr. Mill and his assistants merits the greatest admiration, and is a masterpiece as a private undertaking.
