APPENDIX II ANSWERS TO CIRCULAR. 425 



Particularly constant west winds are generally a sign of continuous dry weather. 

 [J. H. Kraucber, Austin. 



They are. [W. T. Hill, Walker. 



Decidedly so here. [C. B. Richardson, Rusk. 



Ours are doubtless the trade winds, being on the border of the torrid zone. [A. Un- 

 derwood, Brazoria. 



I think there is. [S. Harbert, Alleyton. 



Yes ; the wind in this locality, in June and July, is invariably from the south and 

 southwest, and at times constant and strong except in case of heavy rains ; then it 

 shifts to the northwest and but for a short time. We have no prevailing wave winds 

 here at this season of the year. [ J. W. Jackson, Titus.

The prevailing direction of the wind from July till frost. 



ALABAMA. 



Am not certain, but think from south and southwest during July and August, and 

 west and north during September. [ J. R. Rogers, Bullock. 



South, west of south, and west. [R. S. Williams, Montgomery. 



The wind in July is generally from south and west, in August and until frost con- 

 tinually changing." [J. N. Gilmore, Sumter. 



The wind blows but little until the approach of fall, when the prevailing direction 

 is east. [R. W. Russell, Lowndes.

The prevailing winds of summer are very much like those of June, increased some- 

 times to thunder-storms, which soon pass off. Wet weather promotes the multiplica- 

 tion of the cotton- worms. The weather becomes showery in August and impedes very 

 much the application of poison. [Dr. John Peurifoy, Montgomery. 



Generally from northwest. [H. C. Brown, Wilcox. 



From west to northwest. [P. D. Bowles, Conecuh. 



West and northwest. [J. C. Matthews, Dale. 



East and southeast. [J. W. Du Bose, Montgomery. 



The wind during the time indicated veers from one point to another so often as rarely 

 to be debtor to itself. In other words it is so variable that we have no wind of long 

 duration from any quarter. [C. M. Howard, Autauga. 



Various directions. [James M. Harrington, Monroe. 



From south and southwest. [M. W. Hand, Greene. 



Southeast. [Knox, Minge, and Evans, Hale. 



East and west. [ J. D. Driesbach, Baldwin. 



They are only occasionally from the south. [H. Hawkins, Barbour. 



In our locality the wind has no constant direction. When we have settled weather 

 it most generally is from northwest; when indicating rain it changes to the south or 

 southeast, and about the middle of September, when equinoctial storms are looked for, 

 the winds are from northeast, east, and southeast. [Andrew Jay, Conecuh.
