Abstract
“BRITISH Rainfall for 1916” contains, despite many trying circumstances, the essential features which make this annual so useful. Mr. L. C. W. Bonacina describes the snowstorms of spring, 1916: on the Black Mountains of Brecon snow lay 5 ft. deep, Mr. Carle Salter discusses the differences in rainfall records due to the use of Halliwell and hyetograph gauges; in connection with “The Measurement of Rainfall Duration” he decides in favour of the hyetograph.
