THE RAINFALL.

(to the EDITOR.) I Su, —In your iRSue of the 6th inst. you give the local rainfall for the month of June. Ar one most interes ted in the •* genial ” climate of New Zealand (Kawhia in particular) I should like to know how the e di crop ances occur, viz , there is n > mention of rain which fell in Kawhia on th 11th, 21st, 23rd, 25th, 28 r h aud 29cb of the s-id month ? I keep a r»c »r<l of the d ya on which rain falls he-e, and maintain that if meteorological reports are to be taken let them be accurate. It is, sir, these inaccurate weather reports which get into p t and are circulated all over the w >rld (England in particular) which ka'< people in search of a health-restoring climate tn come to these shores, only to fipd chai they have jumped out of the frying pan into the fire. Jlic iliac lychrynuie.— Yours, etc - , ARTHUR F WILSON. P.S.— At the time of writing (July 9th) there has not been a day without rain in Kawhia since June 20th. [Our correspondent has good reason for complaint against the Clerk of the weatberifor* the way we have been treated since the beginning of the month, but'not, t we venture to think, against our humble effirts to record the said Clerk’s vagaries. The guage ’on the days mentioned by Mr Wilson recorded no rair.'all (perhaps the r. u missed it for spite!), was quite dry in fact, an in dication we are sorry to say of the state of other liquid things in Ka whia just now.
