S.W. and W. had the greatest prevalence, while at Brighton the E. and 
N.W. were least prevalent. During the last. few years -the study of 
meteorology had made great progress in the county of Sussex, and 
there are now four anemometers at work, all of Robinson’s pattern,. 
The observers were C. L. Prince, Esq., F.R.A.S., Crowborough Beacon 
Observatory ; Rev. T. E. Crallan, M.A., County Asylum, Hayward’s 
Heath ; W. J. Harris, Esq., F.M.S., Worthing ; and F. E. Sawyer, 
Chain Pier Head, Brighton.

hours yet recorded was 990 miles on December 8th, 1872, at Crow-
