Dr. Kennan who, as Quartermaster and Secretary of the Russian Division of tlie Expe- 

 ditiou for constructing the Russo-American Overland Telegraph, sailed from San 

 Francisco July 3d, 1865, and was traversing the region between Okotsk and Behring 

 Strait most of the time till September 28th, 1867, writes as follows : "At both Ghijiga, 

 the head of tlie Penjiusk Gulf, aud the mouth of the Auadyr River, the wind blows in 

 winter with almost the regularity of the 'trades' ; in the two former places from N. E. 

 to S. W., and in the latter from N. and N. W. to S. aud S. E. At Ghijiga, between 

 October 1st and March 1st, the wind blows at least six days out of eight from the N.E., 

 and northerly and northeasterly winds prevail throughout the winter on the whole 

 coast. In summer the regularity is not so marked, but the prevailing winds are from 

 the south."* 



' With the exception of the last four columns, this table is transcribed from the work of Wesselowski, in 

 which no account is taken of calms. If we assume their relative number for the several months to have been 

 the same as in the year September, 1837, to August, 1838, inclusive, given in the author's former work, the 

 numbers in the thirteenth column will be modified so as to read as follows, viz., January 55, February 32, 

 March 19i, April 26, May 15, June 08^, July 07A, August 11, September 10 ^, October 25, November 54 ^, Decem- 

 ber 56, Spring 20, Summer 05^, Autumn 29, Winter 47i, the year 24. 



' Dr. Kennan ascribes the monsoon character of the winds "to the influence of the Okotsk Sea, whose open 

 waters are wanner than the land in the winter, and colder in the summer." He remarks that " the best point 

 probably for observation of the wind is Anadyrsk (lat. 65° 30', long. 166° 45') as it is less influenced there 

 by local peculiarities, such as the trend of the sea-coast, and the position of mountains and water, than it is in 

 any other of the Siberian settlements with which I (he) am acquainted." It is much to be regretted that the 

 series of observations made there by a member of the party, for several mouths, appears to be lost.
