June 15, 16. — Gale from S.W. and "W., on the western coast. Velocity 

 about 50 feet per second. 



June 15, 9 a.m. — Wind from S. W. Velocity on western coast = 50 feet per 

 second. Least pressure in north-west. 



June 15, 9 p. m. — Velocity = 45 feet per second. Absolute barometric mini- 

 mum (north) := 29-575. 



June 16, 9 a. m.— Wind from W. Velocity = 50 feet per second. 



July 13, 14.— Storm chiefly in north-west, blowing at first from S. S.W., 

 and veering through S.W. to W. This appears to have been a cyclonic gale, 

 the centre of the cyclone passing to the north of the island ; it is not included 

 in the former series on account of this circumstance. The velocity of the wind 

 was greatest in the north-west throughout; the barometric pressure was least 

 in the north-west on the 13th, and in the north-east on following day. 



July 13, 9 A. M. — Storm from S. S.W., in the north-west of the island. Ve- 

 locity = 60 feet per second.; 



July 13, 9 P.M. — Gale veered to S.W., and affected a large portion of the 

 island. Velocity of wind = 60 feet per second, as before. Absohite barometric 

 minimum = 29'052. 



July 14, 9 A. M. — Wind veered to W. Velocity in north-west increased to 

 65 feet per second.* 



Dec. 7. — Storm began in south-western extremity of the island, and ex- 

 tended thence over the whole. Direction of wind between S. and S.W.
