' The followhig remarks by Capt. Capper, descriptive of the geographical position of Aleppo, and the local 

 influences by which it is surrounded, accompany these observations. 



" Built on the edge of the great desert, which lies to the E. N. E. and S. E., the sea, with the mountainous 

 country and the Black Sea being to the N. and N. W. ; the mountains of Armenia, Mingrelia and Ciroassia to 

 the N. by E. and N. N. E. ; and the deserts of Arabia to the S. E., with the mountainous country on the coast 

 of the Mediterranean Sea to the S. In the cold months the temperature near Aleppo will be much higher 

 than that of the countries to the N., and consequently the current of cold air will move towards this place 

 from the frozen mountains of Caucasus to restore the equilibrium. In the hot months, on the contrary, the 

 land in all the surrounding countries is much hotter than the sea, therefore as the air over the desert to 

 the E. at this season will be much rarefied, the nearest body of cold air will come from the sea to the W. or 

 from the Black Sea to the N. W., to restore the equilibrium; but at other seasons the wind will be more 

 variable, for the temperature of the land and sea being nearly equal, that is, about 56^, the current of air will 

 move different ways in the manner specified in the table."
