(Nos. 215 to 221.) Southern Trans- Caucasia and Northern Persia. 



Observed at tbe following places, viz. : — 



Aralikh, Trans-Caucasia, during the year 1852 and part of 1853. 



Astrabad, Persia, during the years 1852 to 1856 inclusive. The observations were made on the 

 island of Ashur-Ade, in the Bay of Astrabad, by officers of the Russian Naval Station. 



Lenkoran, Trans-Caucasia, from December, 1851, to November, 1853, inclusive. 



Mt.' Seir (Ooroomiah), Persia, by Rev. David T. Stoddard, from April, 1852, to March, 1854, 

 inclusive. 



Ooroomiah (probably the same as Mt. Seir), Persia, by Rev. Justin Perkins, D.D., for the 

 author, from January 1 to June 18, 1848, and from November, 1849, to November, 1850, inclusive. 



Tahreez, Persia, for the author, and through the agency of Rev. Dr. Perkins, who kindly in- 

 terested himself in the matter, by George A. Stevens, Esq., from September to December inclusive, 

 in the year 1850. 



Tehran,'^ Persia, from February to May inclusive, in the year 1850. 



' These observations were made at the request of the author, tliroiigh the kind agency of Rev. Dr. Perkins of 

 Ooroomiah, and under the direction of William Taylor Thompson, Esq., First Secretary of the British Embassy at 

 Tehran, by Joseph Reed (also connected with the embassy), from February to iVIay inclusive, in the year 1850. 

 Dr. Perkins, in communicating the observations, remarks as follows : — 



"Properly to understand these phenomena" {i.e. the winds at Tehran), "it may be well that you have in 

 mind the local situation of Tehran. I will copy a reference to its situation, penned on the spot when I visited it 

 several years ago ; 'The local situation of Tehran renders its situation extremely warm, and hemmed in as it is 

 on the north and east by naked mountains, which tower some 5000 or 6000 feet above it in the rear, and the vast 

 extent of arid land in the two opposite directions reflecting the heat in summer like a burning desert, the city 

 cannot be otherwise than like a great oven during the warm months of the year, not taking into account at all 

 its relative elevation, which is much less than that of Tabreeze and other cities of Azerbijon.' 



" I may add to this notice tbat the Caspian Sea, lying some seventy or eighty miles north of Tehran, though 

 separated from it by a lofty range of mountains, doubtless affects the ch.nracter and direction of ils winds, 

 and still more probably, the immense salt desert that skirts the plain of Tehran, some fifty miles southeast of 

 the town."
