    Complete records of meteorological conditions in St. Helens during 1935 are not, therefore, available. A rainfall recorder is, however, installed at the Eccleston Hill Waterworks and according to this instrument the rainfall in St. Helens during the year was 36.16 inches. The annual rainfall since 1900 is shown in Table 1. The special gauge maintained in the centre of the town for the collection and measurement of the amount of atmospheric pol¬ lution showed the total solids deposited in St. Helens from the atmosphere during the year ending the 31st March, 1936 to be 17,894 metric tons per 100 square kilometres or approximately 1,596 pounds per acre.
