From the above table it will be seen, that the total of Easterly 
winds observed during the year, reckoned in periods of four hours 
each is : ; : , ‘ s 5954 
Total of Westerly intleh : : ‘ - 1093 
The prevailing winds are the Southwesterly. But the predomi- 
nance of Westerly wind at the surface is far less striking than that 
which is exhibited by the upper wind, or main atmospheric current, 
the observations of which, it will be seen are as follows,

The prevailing upper current or sane wind is also Southwesterly.
