•Tho nortliPiiBt quadraut includes NNE. to E., iuclusivo; the southeast, ESE. to S., inclusive; the southwest, 

 SSW. to W., iuclusivo; the northwest, WNW. to N., inclusive. In the columns of figures, each one-tenth of a unit 

 rejirescuts one observation, and each unit ten observations extending through live years, the latter being equivalent 

 to one day's observations for five years. The time ratio for each quadrant is, therefore, represented by days and frac- 

 tions of a dav.
