Arr. V.—Notice of a Hurricane that passed over New EI nisland 
in September, 1815; by Noyes Daruine, Esq. 
1. Some ci t ttending thi kable storm, induced 
me at the time, to make a collection and abstract of all the news- 
paper accounts of it which I could find. I was enabled from my 
situation, then in New York, to make the collection sufficiently 
ample to present a pretty full view.of the storm in the greater 
part of its extent. Believing that the fruit of my labors may in- 
terest and perhaps be useful to those who are engaged in the in- 
vestigation of ‘“ Atlantic hurricanes,” I am induced to offer it for 
publication.
