Mean height of barometer for the last four months, at 11 p. m., 29.756. 



During January, the barometer fluctuated for one week at a mean of 

 28.73 inches. The depression in question had been coming on for eight 

 days previously, and terminated on the 16th with the wind at north. 

 Six days after the storm of the 13th, the barometer had risen two 

 inches ; the northerly wind suddenly supervening on the southerly being 

 the cause and acting as a counterpoise. 



January had the least mean pressure, and September the greatest ; 

 the latter month being 00.535 inches above the mean of the same month 

 in 1842. Lastly, although the December of this year had again a very 

 high temperature, it is also remarkable as being, in point of pressure 

 00.329 inches above the mean of the corresponding month of last year.
