WIND. 



DIRECTION. 



The number of the cases in which the wind had been observed blowing 

 from one or other of the 32 points of the compass and of calms, was tabu- 

 lated for each hour of observation and for each month separately. The num- 

 bers belonging to the intermediate points N b E, NE b N, NE b E etc. were 

 distributed evenly, each with half their amount, among the adjacent 16 points 

 N, NNE, NE etc. The result of this tabulation is given in the following 

 Tables of Wind-Frequency.
