It; is interesting to note that none of the B.E.A stations gave
an average amount of deposit higher than the Corporation's
Station "A"; three gave an average amount higher than Stations "B"
and "C"; and one gave an average less than that of Station either
"A" "B" or "C".
The monthly average total solids deposited during 1951 for
Station "A" was 22.19 tons - an increase over the average for
1950 of only 0.03 tons, but an increase of 1.79 tons over the
figure for 1949.
