As a resident of Dehra Dún, I was interested in a paragraph at p. 297 of NATURE for July 27, 1893, saying that the Indian Planters' Gazette had recorded a rainfall of 48 inches at Dehra Dún on the night; of January 24, 1893. As 48 inches is considerably more than half our average yearly rainfall (86 inches). I have looked up the official returns of the Meteorological Reporter to the Government of India. They give for the rainfall recorded at 8 a.m. on January 24, 1893, 0.26 inches only, 1.07 inch being the recorded fall on the same date at Mussoorie, on the hill range 11 miles off. I have examined the Dehra Dún rainfall records since January 1, 1867, and find that the largest amount recorded for any one day since that date is 11.60 inches, which is given for July 30, 1890. It is possible that the correspondent referred to wrote 4.8 inches, but even that amount, though not an uncommon fall for the monsoon season between June and September inclusive, would be a heavy fall for January. The highest recorded fall for any day in January is 2.84 inches on January 26, 1883.
