Abstract
THE Italian Meteorological Department has issued an important work on the rainfall of Italy. The tabular matter contains the total precipitation and the number of rain-days for each month of the twenty-six years 1880 to 1905 for 215 of the 700 rainfall stations in connection with the Italian office. The records are not complete in all cases, but fifteen years is the shortest period dealt with. The largest annual total is 90 inches, at Gemona, near the Austrian frontier, the smallest 18.6 inches, at Foggia. On looking through the tables we are struck by the fact that no attempt seems to be made to secure uniformity of exposure for the gauges. The heights above the ground vary between 60 metres and half a metre. A set of excellent coloured plates shows the average rainfall conditions for each month, each season, and for the whole year.
