WITH the present volume ends the third consecutive decade of rain­ fall returns with which I have been favoured, and which it has been my privilege to publish. I am glad to say that of the 168 meteorologists who thirty years ago contributed observations to the leaflet which, under the title "English Kainfall, 1860," started this series of volumes, sixteen have reported in every subsequent year, and their returns for 1889 are to be found in the following pages. As this is the closing volume of the decade, I do not like it to go forth without mentioning what I always feel most deeply—viz., my thankfulness to the thousands of correspondents who have enabled me to make our Rainfall organization what it is. I am obliged to be dictatorial; otherwise we should drift away from uniformity, precision, and accuracy. I know no parallel to the case of the voluntary submission which has characterized our work, and I think that it shows remarkable devotion and personal self-denial on the part of the observers, that during the thirty years in which I have had the honour of carrying on this work, not more than a dozen out of the (probably) 9,000 or 10,000 observers who have helped me, have taken offence at my criticisms on their returns, and have with­ drawn in consequence. If that is not evidence of British good temper, and of submission to rules designed to secure efficiency and accuracy, I do not know what would be accepted as such. G. J. SYMONS. 62, CAMDEN SQUARE, N.W. July tth, 1890. REPORT. The i\ew Decade.—When I began my last report by sketching out what ought to be done to ensure that all should be in good order on January 1st, 1890, I did not realize how hard a nine months' work I was preparing for myself. Fortunately for rainfall, my two assistants and I escaped the prevalent illness of last winter, and so finally, but after a very heavy strain, we have cleared off all the extra work, and done all that our limited resources permitted to­ wards commencing a large series of good observations for the decade 1890-99. The first thing to which we had to direct our attention was the perfecting, absolutely to date, of the list of observers. Without a little thought, persons would imagine that to be very easy, in fact, that all effort were superfluous, as evidently the list should be always perfect. Yes, but with a staff of nearly 3,000 persons, deaths and removals are frequent, and new names have to be entered, and at times such entries have to wait while more pressing work is done. There was not much to do, but it was the first step. Then a circular was prepared, and 3,000 copies of it were printed, and folded, and about 2,800 copies addressed—one to every observer on the register. These cir­ culars called the attention of the observers to points in which long experience had taught me that they were most likely to need a reminder; such as the metal of the gauge having begun to rust, trees or shrubs already sheltering it, or being likely to do so, the gauge being insufficiently large, e.g., not holding more than two or three inches, so that in a great storm the record would be lost. Observers were also asked whether they had a copy of Arrangements (see reprint at the end of this volume), and whether their observations were in all respects made in accordance with the rules therein. Lastly, they were invited to mention the names of any persons already making good observations, or likely to be willing to do so. It is much easier to mention the issue of such a number of circulars, than it is to see that they are all properly addressed and started, but that was nothing compared to dealing with them when they came back at the rate of two or three hundred a day. How­ ever, I am very glad that I issued them, and that the observers were kind enough to return a very large proportion of them care­ fully filled up. They went out in October, and the replies and 9 correspondence arising therefrom (far over 1,000 separate letters) took till the middle of December; in fact, not a few came in later still, but they were then merged in the ordinary correspondence and unimportant. I have now to summarize the result. I think that it did an immense amount of good. Many trees have been lopped or removed altogether, more than a hundred new gauges have been started by old observers as checks on their present ones, and to ensure the continuity of their records when the old gauges have to be abandoned, or to provide themselves with gauges, which if the inner vessel overflows will still hold the heaviest rain. A special circular on this subject will be found further on. Another very valuable result, and one which has at the same time both pleased and slightly vexed me, has been the large number of persons who have long been keeping records, but of whom I had not previously been informed. I am very pleased to welcome them to our body, but I am rather vexed not to have heard of them before. For twenty years or more every one of the little perforated forms (of which I must have issued 50,000) has borne the following request " If you know of any records not quoted in British Rainfall, please mention the stations and the observers' names." Not a year passes that I do not receive some responses to this request, but as a rule it is overlooked, and this is proved by the special circular having brought scores of new names. I shall be very glad if my correspondents will bear this in mind in the future. Every observer has a personal interest in helping me to make our joint work as nearly perfect as possible, and I rely upon them to prove it. Anyone who sees a record in a newspaper from a station which he does not recognise as from one of our body, will greatly oblige by distinctly marking it, and sending the paper to Camden Square. After these circulars had been cleared off, I wrote a letter, which was kindly inserted in The Times, in which I further invited all who were making good observations but had not previously communicated them to me to do so, and I also intimated my willingness to help any who desired to co-operate.

  • River Tarrant in Dorset
    River Tarrant in Dorset An advisory visit carried out by the Wild Trout Trust – July 2010 1. Introduction This report is the output of a Wild Trout Trust advisory visit undertaken on the River Tarrant, a Dorset Stour tributary. The advisory visit was carried out at the request of Sarah Worral, representing the River Tarrant Preservation Society (RTPS), which has an active interest in protecting and improving this small Dorset chalkstream. The RTPS are looking for advice on management and maintenance of the stream and are particularly interested in exploring any ideas that might assist fish populations during periods of little, or no flow. This issue is discussed further in section 2, 3 and 4 of this report. Comments in this report are based on observations on the day of the site visit and discussions with Sarah Worral, Rose Mannering Burton, James Mallet and David Porter from the RTPS. Further information has subsequently been obtained from Nicole Caetano from the Environment Agency. Throughout the report, normal convention is followed with respect to bank identification i.e. banks are designated Left Bank (LB) or Right Bank (RB) whilst looking downstream. 2. Catchment overview The winterbourne section of the Tarrant generally rises north of Tarrant Gunville and flows about 13 km south to join the River Stour downstream of Blandford. The source of any winterbourne and indeed most chalkstreams, will vary according to winter rainfall levels and will migrate down the hydraulic gradient in response to prolonged periods of below average rainfall. The Tarrant upstream of Tarrant Monkton is regarded by the Environment Agency as a true winterbourne.

It lies in a gentle valley, close to the confluence of the Tarrant with the much larger river Stour. This remains an utterly unspoilt pastoral landscape which could be a hundred miles from the Bournemouth–Poole conurbation rather than the 10–12 miles (16–19km) that it actually is. The name ‘Tarrant’ seems to be identical with ‘Trent’, an ancient British river-name used of a river liable to flood, and ‘Crawford’ to mean ‘crows’ ford’. The ford in question was probably over the Stour where the splendid Crawford Bridge was built in the late Middle Ages, although this is now actually in the adjoining parish of Spetisbury.
