The anterior slope of crest No. 2, extending from Cork, Belfast and the 
Orkneys to Paris, is well-developed. Belfast is the highest point, Paris the 
lowest. Altitude from Paris ‘80. The posterior slope of crest No. 1 is now 
scarcely perceptible. The wind is that due to the anterior slope of crest 
No. 2. The following table will show the gradual approach of the anterior 
slope of this wave. Paris the lowest point :—

Nearly the same state of the barometer is maintained over the area as on 
the 5th, with nearly similar winds. The anterior slope of crest No. 2 is still 
strikingly developed. The greatest curvature has passed with a very slight _ 
fall at Belfast and a very slight rise at Paris.
