146 REPORT—1846, 
Anterior slope, Crest No. 2. 
The wave (crest No. 2), with its front towards the south-east, has been 
very distinctly developed during the preceding days. The altitude of the 
crest appears to have subsided as the wave progressed ; the highest reading 
at Belfast was 30°55 on the 5th, at London 30°16 on the 6th, and at Paris 
99:90 on the 8th. The following tables exhibit the features of the anterior 
slope. Table VI. shows the barometric rise and fall at stations arranged 
more or less with regard to a line cutting the crest of the wave transversely. 
The depressing influence of the wave, crest No. 1, is clearly seen at London 
and Paris on the 5th. Tables VII., VIII. and IX. exhibit the depression of 
the south-easterly stations below those to the north-west of them while the 
anterior slope passed.
