Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rainfall of the Hawaiian Islands The allotment of rain-gauges to persons willing to make returns began at that time, and has been kept up ever since. Many of the sugar plantations, however, have provided their own. At first cheap three-inch gauges were used but were soon generally replaced by eight-inch gauges, lately of copper with glass measuring tubes, which are in some respects prefer able to rods. A large proportion of the reports come directly from plantation managers. The monthly publication of rainfall began in the Honolulu papers in 1892 and has been kept up ever since. The annual reports, beginning with 1892, have also contained the monthly rainfall. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
