My journal for the year 1832 is sebtode' te in celiaegiibtide of in- 
terruptions, amounting in the aggregate to about three months, and 
is therefore omitted. The proportion of Westerly winds which it 
records is 672 in 1000. 
These results, in their general character, appear to coincide with 
the observations which have been made in other parts of the United 
States, and it is believed are by no means peculiar to the place in 
which they were observed. Indeed there is evidence which is deem- 
ed sufficient to establish the position, that we have a southwesterly and 
westerly current of atmosphere, of varying altitude, sweeping over 
the United States, as regular and as constant as the northeasterly 
and easterly winds which prevail at the Island of Barbadoes, or in the 
general region of the trade winds.
