18 REPORT—1896. 
Of the 668 tides recorded, 136, or about 20 cent., were affected by the 
wind. Of these, 61, or about 45 per cent., were increased by westerly 
winds blowing with the flood tide, and 20, or about 15 per cent., were 
decreased by easterly winds blowing in the opposite direction to the tide, 
leaving about 40 per cent. affected by winds in an opposite way to that 
which “night have been expected. 
The number of tides raised by westerly winds is three times as great 
as those depressed by easterly winds.
