	British Rainfall 1867, title page
	Title page The first issue of British Rainfall was the report for 1860 published in 1861. The first available in the Armitt Library is 1867:- BRITISH RAINFALL, 1867. ON THE DISTRIBUTION OF RAIN OVER THE BRITISH ISLES, DURING THE YEAR 1867, / AS OBSERVED AT ABOUT 1300 STATIONS IN GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND, WITH REMARKS ON VARIOUS EXPERIMENTS, AND ILLUSTRATIONS. COMPILED BY G. J. SYMONS, F.M.S., Member of the Scottish Meteorological Society. // LONDON: EDWARD STANFORD, CHARING CROSS. S.W. / SIMPKIN, MARSHALL & CO., STATIONER'S HALL COURT. 1868.
	The regular content of each report deals with the meteorology of the year: notes on principal phaenomena, notes from voluntary obervers, reports on heavy falls and floods, and droughts, monthly rainfall figures, and the relationship of the year's figures to averages. Preceding these are a few essays on rain and other weather topics, topics like: the measurement of snow, the moon's influence on rainfall, design of rain gauges, rainfall and sunspot frequency, etc. Beware that pagination of the essay section and the report section might be independent of each other.
