Tornado in N. E. part of Ohio, Feb. 4, 1842. 285 
to be counted by thousands. We searched particularly for trees 
crossing each other. We found but one such case on the south- 
east half of the track, and this was near the middle. ‘The bot- 
tom tree fell N. 20° E.; asecond upon it N. 56° E; a third upon 
the second N. 84° E. ‘We measured a number of single trees on 
the side N N, the bearings of which were N. 3° E., N. 3° R,, 
N. 32. E.,N..14°. F.,.N..19° E., N, 25° E., N. 27° E., 'N 30° E., 
N, 30°. E.; N. 55° E., N. 55° E., N. 55° E,, N. 60° By, N. 60° E. 
The trees were not arranged in the order I hast here gine them, 
but lay scattered about indiscriminately. ‘There did not appear 
any very decided mean. difference in the bearings of the trees 
throughout the entire space NNN. We endeavored to obtain 
the greatest range of bearings. This appears to be 81°. From 
the case of the trees which crossed, it may be inferred that the 
most northerly trees are those which fell first. "The mean of the 
most northerly half is N. 14° E., of the others N. 57° E 
On the other side of the track the phenomena were exceed- 
ingly different.. Here we had no difficulty in finding trees which 
lay across each other, and accordingly we measured few others. 
The following observations were made, commencing near the - 
centre of the track and proceeding towards the northwest border. 
Fifteen groups were measured in which the trees crossed ata 
considerable angle. The first mentioned tree in each group lay 
at the bottom, the others above it in the order named. Five lay- 
ers were recorded in several instances. This was oe no means 
the whole number which lay on top of each others 
several trees lay nearly parallel with the one psi -iBhewb- 
servations are intended to include the whole range of directions.
