“ The cause of the increase of oscillation towards points of greatest oscilla- 
tion in the centres of the storms is very apparent, namely the depression to- 
wards the centres of the storms producing in the surfaces of the atmosphere 
over them a funnel-shaped character.

June 1836. 
A meridian passing through Mon- 
treal, the point of least oscillation in 
the series, gives the greatest increase 
of oscillation on the west side, reject- 
ing Quebec, as the hours are not con- 
tinuous.

The three stations, New Haven, 
Middletown and Flushing, are not 
placed above according to their rela- 
tive positions; the discrepancies 
would probably disappear if the sta- 
tions were sufficiently numerous as 
to allow of the observations being so 
arranged that the ranges might be 
exhibited as proceeding from a point 
of greatest oscillation on the radii of 
a circle. 
* Gardiner, Maine, being ciitdabnly to the east of William’s College, tie similarity of 
range at the two stations.is interesting.
