Excerpt from Letter From the Secretary of War, Transmitting Letter of the Chief Signal Officer on the Rain-Fall of the Pacific Slope and the Western States and Territories: February 27, 1888

During the year 1886 the writer compiled statistics of rain-fall for Washington Territory, Oregon, and California, which were published in the California State Board of Health report for that year. These tables have been extended to include more reports, with later data, and to embrace Nevada, Idaho, Utah, and Arizona, including most of the area west of the continental divide.

To present the data so as to be easily comprehended, the monthly and yearly averages have been placed upon charts, and lines drawn, showing areas of equal precipitation. A short memoir is also included, which considers the conditions and causes producing rain-fall in the region charted.
