ZOIVE No, 5. 



Latitude 65° to 70° North. 



The data for the study of the winds of this zone consist of observations made in 

 the following portions of it : — 



1st. Arctic seas of North America and Greenland, and islands in the same, for 

 an aggregate period of more than four and a half years. 



2d. North America, at five different stations, for an aggregate period of nearly 

 six years. 



3d. Greenland, at two stations on its western coast, for periods severally of five 

 and twelve years. 



4th. Northern and Western Iceland, at two stations, for^ periods severally of two 

 and five years. 



5th. Atlantic Ocean, between Iceland and Norway, for thirty-three days. 



6th. Finmark and Lapland, at nine stations, for an aggregate period of over 

 seven years. 



7th. Northern Sweden, at four stations, for an aggregate period of twenty-two 

 and a half years. 



8th. Northeastern Siberia, at two stations, at one of which observations were 

 regularly recorded for a period of seventy-two days, and at the other we have the 

 general result only for a period of three years. 



In this zone, therefore, the observations regularly recorded, and incorporated 

 into this work, represent, in the aggregate, a period of nearly sixty-four and a half 

 years.

At sea (longitude 117° E. to 163° W.), by Beechy, for 13 days, in the summer of ISSY ; by Rogers 

 and Schonborn, for 23 days, in the summer of 1855 ; and on board the New Bedford whaling barques 

 Cleone, Roscoe, and Helen Snow, for 457 days, in the summers and autumns of 1859 to 1861, and
