On Winds and Currents, from the Admiralty Physical 

 Atlas. 



In the Northern Hemisphere the effect of the veering of 

 the wind on the barometer is according to the following 

 law: 



With East, South-east, and South winds, the barometer 

 falls. 



With South-west winds, the barometer ceases to fall and 

 begins to rise. 



With West, North-west, and North winds, the barometer 

 rises. 



With North-east winds, the barometer ceases to rise and 

 begins to fall. 



In the Northern Hemisphere the thermometer rises with 

 East, South-east, and South winds; with a Soiith-west wind 

 it ceases to rise and begins to fall; it falls with West, North- 

 west, and North winds; and with a North-east wind it ceases 

 to fall and begins to rise.

THE mode of proceeding for the reclamation of bog- 

 land at Kylemore is first to remove the excess of water by 

 "the big drain and the secondary drains," which must be
