gorge in the mountains, extending all the way from the valley of .Tehoshaphat and Hinnom to the Dead Sea, 

 occasions a stronger current over the Holy City and the Mount of Olives. The Arabs have a saying, that 

 Jerusalem is the most windy place in the world, the centre of the earth, and thus attracting all the wind 

 there, etc. During the winter the southwest wind ou the coast, and the northwest wind in the interior, gene- 

 rally accompany a rain, though occasionally there is a shower from the southeast. A north wind ou the sea 

 coast always drives away rain, but it is generally a very chilly and uncomfortable one, and is considered by 

 the natives as uuwholesome. The rainy season commences about the 1st or 16th of October, and continues 

 until the middle of April. Sometimes a few showers fall in September and May." 



The following description of the winds of Palestine is taken from Dr. Wm. Smith's Bible Dictionary : — 



"N.W. from the Autumnal Equinox to November 1st ; west from November to February; east (roiu Feb- 

 ruary to June ; and north from June to the Autumnal Equinox." 



' Sixteen of the W. and S. W. observations are marked " sea breeze" in the original record, and if these be 

 rejected the resultant for the year is S. 87° 56' W. .28. 



2 Computed from the resultants for the seasons. 



' Six of these observiitions were marked "sea breeze" in the original record, and if these be rejected the 

 resultant for the winter is S. 50° 57' W. .61.
