It appears from the foregoing that the preponderance of easterly winds over 

 westerly amounts to more than 17 per cent, of the whole. And if, with a view to 

 obtain some tolerable approximation to the probable mean direction of the summer 

 and autumn winds, and hence that for the entire year, we distribute each of the two 

 foregoing classes of winds among the several easterly or westerly points, in the same 

 ratio that they actually were distributed in the recorded observations of some month 

 in which the general result was nearly or quite similar, we obtain the following: — 



Summer. Autumn. The year. 



Mean direction of resultant, S. 67° 16' E. N. 34° 43' E. N. 41° 7' E. 



Ratio of resultant to sum of winds, .14 .20 .13
