On the left side of the storm path, the lowest observations 
found in recitals 45a, 75, 97, 106, 109, 114, 126 and 135, at points 
varying from 305 to 400 miles from the axis line and at an aver- 
age distance of 349 miles, afford us a mean of 29°76 inches. At 
most of these points, as at others, the true minimum doubtless 
occurred between the times of observation, but only in 45a is a 
subtraction of -12 in. made on this account. Recital 118, ata 
distance of 260 miles, shows 29°50 in., probably within an hour 
of the true minimum. Recitals 4, 6, 116, 38, 81, 124, 133, 141, 
142 and 144, in positions from 69 to 168 miles from the axis and 
at an average distance of 126 miles, show an average minimum 
of 28°34 inches. On the center path, as per Chart, the average 
minimum, as per recitals 34, 51, 148, 129 and 130, is 28°13 inch- 
es. On the right hand side of the path, recitals 19 and 64, ata 
‘mean of 98 miles from the axis, show an average minimum of 
28-45 inches. The Pioneer (62) at 230 miles gives 29°45 inch- 
es :—and at Bermuda, at 375 miles, being a station where the ba- 
rometer shows an annual mean of at least 30°16 in., our lowest 
observation is 29°86 inches. 'These several elements afford us 
the approximate curve which is here annexed.

It is worthy of remark that the barometric depression in this 
gale does not appear to increase according to the increase of lati- 
tude ; showing that the proper effects of the centrifugal force of 
rotation are constantly found on the center poik ot; the storm, in 
all latitudes. 
The mean barometric curve on the center path, in the direction 
of the storm’s progression, appears not to differ essentially from 
given above, so far as may be inferred from the various ob-
