Abstract
THE ordinary method of exhibiting the annual distribution of rainfall for any station or country is a graph the ordinates of which represent the monthly rainfall. Though this pictorial method is both useful and interesting, it does not lend itself to the ready comparison of a number of such graphs for different places or for the same place in different years. By a similar graphic method we can exhibit the yearly rainfall totals for a number of years, but we cannot show differences of internal distribution for each year unless we are at the trouble to graph each month of each year separately.
