Abstract
MR. WATT'S nil admirari attitude towards the C.G. of annual rainfall is unfortunate, for, notwithstanding his disclaimer in the first sentence, I find that his statement in the last sentence of his letter in NATURE of April 28 is another a priori shot ! In the Mysore rainfall annual reports of the last fifteen years I have given diagrams of the monthly rainfall of the eight districts as percentages of the yearly totals, but they are not simple, or similar, or symmetrical. Yet year after year there is a close agreement in the C.G., or date round which each year's rainfall balances. Verb. sat, sap.
